Most Delicious Teriyaki Chicken
Description
The chicken thighs are cubed and seared in oil on medium-high heat to develop a golden exterior while remaining tender inside. Seasoned with salt and pepper, the chicken is then simmered briefly with a teriyaki sauce made from tamari, sake, mirin, and honey combined with fresh ginger and garlic. The sauce reduces and thickens, coating the chicken with a shiny glaze.
Served over rice with steamed broccoli, the dish offers a savory and subtly sweet flavor profile with aromatic ginger and garlic. Sesame seeds and sliced green onion added as garnish provide texture and freshness to the presentation.
The note suggests that if sake or mirin are unavailable, substitutions can be used to maintain the sauce’s flavor balance without compromising the recipe’s outcome.
Ingredients
Chicken Stir Fry
- 1 1/2 pounds chicken thigh diced into 1-inch cubes, boneless, skinless
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon ginger finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Teriyaki Sauce
- 1/4 cup tamari soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 1/4 cup sake
- 1/4 cup mirin
- 2 tablespoons honey
Garnish
- sesame seeds
- green onion sliced
Instructions
- In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sake, mirin, and honey until everything is well combined. Set this aside.
- Heat the oil in a large saute pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add in the chicken and let it cook for 1-2 minutes on one side, until nice and golden. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Stir fry the chicken, flip it over, and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes. You don't want it cooked through at this stage, just seared on the outside.
- Give the sauce a quick whisk and add it to the pan along with the minced ginger and garlic. Stir the sauce with the chicken and let it simmer for 4-5 minutes until the sauce has reduced and thickened.
- Serve on top of a fresh bed of rice and a side of steamed broccoli. Garnish with diced green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
- If sake or mirin are unavailable, suitable substitutions can be used to recreate the teriyaki sauce flavor.
