Basic chicken teriyaki recipe. Easy to make. Ingredients:
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs |
1/2 cup mirin |
1/4 cup tamari (japanese soy sauce. shoyu or regular soy sauce may be substituted but use less) |
1/4 cup sugar (or to taste) |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
salt |
pepper |
Directions:
1. In a microwavable bowl, combine mirin, tamari (soy sauce), sugar. Microwave for 30 seconds to blend the sugar into sauce.
2. Using a meat tenderizer, flatten chicken thighs into an even thickness. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. Heat a large flat-iron skillet (or large saute pan) to medium-high heat -make sure it's thoroughly heated. Add oil, then saute the chicken for 7-9 minutes each on both sides. After 5-6 minutes on the second side (when the chicken starts to cook), chop the chicken into bite size chunks then stir for about a minute.
4. Deglaze with a generous amount of sauce that covers all the pieces (reserve some as extra sauce) and stir for about a minute.
5. Transfer to serving dish and add extra sauce (optional: just before adding the extra sauce, caramelize and thicken extra sauce on a saute pan by cooking it on high heat until it darkens.).
