Teriyaki Chicken

I love chicken teriyaki! I always order anything teriyaki when I am going to a Japanese restaurant. I was wondering how difficult it is to make the teriyaki sauce and thought that I have to buy a Japanese saute pan to make teriyaki dish.

Anyway, I guess everyone needs google search these days. I typed "Chicken teriyaki recipe". Many recipes came up from the google search engine. There was even a video to show how to saute the chicken correctly. COOL!! Time to try making this dish in my kitchen using a flat teflon pan. As simple as that!!

Ingredients:

• Teriyaki sauce: 0.5 cup kikkoman soy sauce, 0.5 cup mirin, 2 tbs sugar
• 3 chicken thigh fillets (cut each fillet into 2 pieces)
• 1 carrot (sliced into matchstick size)
• 2 brown onions (sliced into lengthy strips)
• 1 tbs toasted sesame seeds (optional)
• 4 tbs oil for sauteing

Preparation:

1. Marinate the chicken with the teriyaki sauce for 30 mins
2. Add oil into the pan, wait until it is hot
3. Fry the chicken fillets until they turn golden brown, turn the chicken over to another side
4. Pour half the sauce in pan
5. Cover the pan and steam cook the chicken fillets on low heat until only a little bit sauce left
6. Put the chicken fillets on the serving plate
7. Add the remaining teriyaki sauce into the pan
8. Add carrot and onions until they are cooked
9. Add the carrots and onions on the side of chicken thigh fillets
10. Sprinkle the dish with toasted sesame seeds (optional)
