Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup mirin
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon sake (optional)
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Sesame seeds for garnish
- Green onions, sliced, for garnish
Instructions
- Cut chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces.
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, sake (if using), grated ginger, and minced garlic. This is your teriyaki sauce.
- Add the chicken pieces to the teriyaki sauce, ensuring they are well coated. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Remove chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and add it to the hot skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through.
- Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet with the chicken. Bring to a simmer and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
- Serve the teriyaki chicken hot, garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can marinate the chicken overnight.
- Feel free to add vegetables like broccoli florets or bell peppers to the skillet during the last few minutes of cooking.
- Serve with steamed rice for a complete meal.
