Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken thigh fillet
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Sesame seeds for garnish

Teriyaki Sauce

  • 1 tablespoons ginger finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup mirin
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine together soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, honey, garlic, ginger, pepper, salt and cornstarch. Whisk until smooth.
  2. Season chicken with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Pan-fry the chicken thigh until both sides are nicely browned and almost cooked through, about 5-10 minutes.
  4. Add the sauce over chicken and continuously flip the chicken to keep basting it with the teriyaki sauce.
  5. Simmer and continue to cook and toss until sauce has thickened, about 30 - 60 seconds longer.
  6. Serve over white rice with steamed broccoli or bokchoy. Garnished with sesame seeds if desired.
