Time 35m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 tablespoons sake (Japanese Rice Wine)
1/4 cup mirin (sweet Japanese rice wine)
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 teaspoons fresh ginger
3 -4 drops sesame oil
1 3/4 lbs chicken thigh fillets, preferably organic, cut into bite-sized pieces (no skin or bones)
1 teaspoon peanut oil
1 3/4-2 1/2 cups sushi rice, cooked according to packet instructions

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:

To make the best teriyaki sauce, use a good quality soy sauce and mirin. You can also add a little sake or rice vinegar for extra flavor.
Be sure to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help the chicken absorb the flavors of the marinade.
When cooking the chicken, be careful not to overcook it. Chicken is best when it is cooked through but still tender and juicy.
Serve the chicken teriyaki with steamed rice and your favorite vegetables.

Conclusion:

Chicken teriyaki is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner recipe, give chicken teriyaki a try.
