Ingredients

Chicken Stir Fry
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs diced into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • salt and 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
  • sliced green onion

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sake, mirin, and honey until everything is well combined. Set this aside.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Serve on top of a fresh bed of rice and a side of steamed broccoli. Garnish with diced green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

  • Remember that if you don't have sake or mirin, you can still make this delicious recipe. Check out my teriyaki sauce post for substitutions.
