Mall Chicken Teriyaki
Description
Mall Chicken Teriyaki features chunks of boneless, skinless chicken thigh soaked in a marinade of mirin, soy sauces, brown sugar, and ginger, elements typical of teriyaki sauces but with a bit of added depth from dark soy sauce and sesame oil. The marinade also includes cornstarch, which helps thicken the sauce during cooking. The chicken is first seared to create a light crust, then simmered in the reserved marinade to infuse the meat with flavor and create a thick sauce.
The stir-fry technique in a wok or skillet over medium-high heat ensures the chicken cooks quickly and evenly while the sauce reduces to a glossy consistency. This recipe is practical for those wanting a homemade teriyaki chicken with a rich, sticky sauce that absorbs well into the meat chunks.
Serving the chicken over rice makes the most of the sweet and savory sauce, allowing the rice to soak up the teriyaki glaze. The marinating step of two hours enhances flavor and tenderness, offering a substantial meal that works for dinner or meal prep.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken thigh 900g, cut into small chunks, boneless, skinless
- 3 1/2 tablespoons mirin
- 3 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dark soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar

- 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
Instructions
