Teriyaki Chicken |
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons grated fresh gingerroot
- Splash sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons sake
- 1/4 cup mirin
- 1 3/4 pounds chicken thigh fillets
- 1 teaspoon peanut oil
- 1 3/4 to 2 1/2 cups sushi rice,
Directions : You should combine the mirin, sake, soy sauce, ginger, sugar and sesame oil in a bowl that you can steep the chicken in and leave for 15 minutes.
Heat the peanut oil in casserole that has a lid over medium heat. transfer the chicken pieces using a slotted spoon from the marinade to the pan. Saute them until they look cooked on the outside.
Add the marinade to the chicken pieces and bring to a bubble, then turn down the heat to a gentle simmer, put the lid on and cook for about 5 minutes. Cut into a piece of chicken to make sure it's cooked through.
Remove the cooked pieces with a slotted spoon (you could keep them in a bowl covered in aluminum foil to keep them warm) and turn the heat up under the pan to let the liquid boil down to a thick dark syrup.
Return the chicken pieces back to the pan, stir well so that all the chicken pieces are coated in the sticky savory syrup. Serve with a comforting pile of sushi rice and perhaps some steamed baby bok choy or other veggies of your choice.
