Teriyaki chicken recipe
- 1.5 tbsp vegetable oil
- 400 g (14.1oz) chicken thigh fillets, cut into 3 cm (1W inch) pieces
- 1 tbsp cornflour (cornstarch), for dusting
- 2 tsp sesame seeds
- 1 cup chopped coriander (cilantro) or sliced spring onion (scallion), to serve
- 1 cup Kewpie (Japanese) mayonnaise, to serve (optional)
- 2.5 tbsp light soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sake (Japanese rice wine) or substitute a dry sherry
- 1.5 tbsp mirin (sweet rice wine)
- 1 tbsp caster (superfine) sugar
- For the teriyaki sauce, combine the ingredients in a small saucepan and stir over low heat until sugar dissolves.
- Set aside.
- Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat.
- Dust the chicken with cornflour, then add to the pan.
- Cook for 5 minutes, turning once, until golden brown on both sides and just cooked through.
- Reduce the heat to medium, pour over half the teriyaki sauce and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
- Pour over the remaining teriyaki sauce, stirring until it thickens again.
- Sprinkle the sesame seeds and coriander over the chicken and serve with the mayonnaise and a side dish, such as a cucumber and radish salad
