Steps:
- In a non-reactive dish, stir together sake, mirin, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger and sesame oil. Add chicken pieces, toss, cover with plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

- While noodles cook, heat peanut oil in wok or large skillet over medium flame. Remove chicken from marinade and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes. Add marinade, cover and simmer 10 minutes.
- Add sugar snap peas to noodles.

Steps:
- Combine the sake, mirin, soy sauce, sugar, ginger and sesame oil in a dish that you can steep the chicken in, (I use a 23cm square dish, but anything of similar dimensions would do).
- Add the prepared chicken pieces and leave for 15 minutes.
- Heat the peanut oil in a large shallow frying pan or casserole (that has a lid) over medium heat.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken pieces from the marinade to the pan.
- Saute them until they look cooked on the outside.
- Add the marinade to the chicken pieces and bring to a bubble, then turn down the heat to a gentle simmer, put the lid on and cook for about 5 minutes.
- Cut into a piece of chicken to make sure it's cooked through.
- Remove the cooked pieces with a slotted spoon (you could keep them in a bowl covered in aluminum foil to keep them warm) and turn the heat up under the pan to let the liquid boil down to a thick dark syrup.
- Return the chicken pieces back to the pan, stir well so that all the chicken pieces are coated in the syrup.
- Serve with a pile of sushi rice and perhaps some steamed baby bok choy or other veggies of your choice.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for best results. If using chicken breasts, pound them thin to ensure even cooking.
- Make the teriyaki sauce ahead of time: The sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. This makes it a great option for busy weeknights.
- Use a nonstick skillet: This will help prevent the chicken from sticking and burning.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help prevent the chicken from overcooking and drying out.
- Baste the chicken with the teriyaki sauce frequently: This will help keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
- Serve the chicken with rice or noodles: This is a classic pairing that always pleases.
Conclusion:
Nigella Lawson's Chicken Teriyaki is a delicious and easy weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the teriyaki sauce is sweet, tangy, and slightly sticky. Serve it over rice or noodles and you have a complete meal that the whole family will love.
