Teriyaki Chicken is a beloved staple in Japanese cuisine, characterized by its succulent, tender chicken glazed with a sweet and savory sauce. The umami-rich flavor, paired with the enticing aroma, makes this dish an irresistible delight.
- In a bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and sesame oil to make the teriyaki sauce. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook until browned on one side.
- Flip the chicken and reduce the heat to medium. Cook until the chicken is almost done, then remove it from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, pour in the teriyaki sauce and let it simmer until it thickens slightly.
- Return the chicken to the pan and coat it thoroughly with the sauce. Continue cooking until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened to a glossy glaze.
- Serve the teriyaki chicken over steamed rice, garnished with finely chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
We recommend:
To ensure your chicken is juicy and tender, avoid overcooking. The sugar in the teriyaki sauce can burn easily, so keep an eye on your sauce as it simmers. For an added layer of flavor, try grilling the chicken for a smoky touch. Remember, cooking is an art. Feel free to adjust the sweetness or saltiness of the sauce to your liking. Enjoy the process, and savor the taste of home-cooked Japanese cuisine!
