This is a real favourite of mine! Teriyaki is made up of the words ‘teri’ meaning ‘lustre’ and ‘yaki’ meaning ‘grilled’ or ‘cooked’. Here’s a quick and easy recipe for making chicken teriyaki in the frying pan. The sauce is also a perfect match with salmon or tofu or you can use it to give a flavour boost to a noodle stir-fry. Serve it with rice and veg for a healthy but satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
6 skinless and boneless chicken thighs
(Or skin on if you prefer.)
Sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds
SAUCE
Teriyaki sauce –
4tbsp soy sauce
4 tbsp mirin
2 tbsp sugar
METHOD
- Combine sauce ingredients in little saucepan.
- Bring sauce ingredients to boil, turn down and simmer for a couple of mins to thicken.
- Heat frying pan, no need for oil. When hot, put in chicken thighs. Sear on each side until golden.
- Turn down heat to medium-low and cook for about 5 mins, turning chicken over halfway.
- Add teriyaki sauce for final min.
- Remove chicken from frying pan and leave to rest on kitchen board for 2 mins. Keep excess sauce.
- Slice chicken into smaller pieces and serve with rice and veg and pour over extra sauce.
