Instructions

1. Cut the chicken breast in half along the centre line to make two pieces.
2. Find where the muscle fibres change direction in the large piece and cut it there, so each piece can be sliced against the grain into 1/3-inch (about 8 mm) slices.
3. In a bowl, mix the chicken with 1 tablespoon sake, 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Add 2 teaspoons potato starch and work it in until every piece is evenly coated.
4. In another bowl, mix 2 tablespoons sake, 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 tablespoon sugar until the sugar dissolves to make the teriyaki sauce.
5. Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, then the chicken in a single layer, starting with the larger pieces.
6. Once all the chicken is in, start turning the pieces over, beginning with the ones added first.
7. When the chicken is mostly cooked (it need not be fully cooked through), wipe out excess oil with a paper towel and pour in the teriyaki sauce.
8. Keep flipping the chicken until it is coated in a thick glaze.
9. Pack the teriyaki chicken into a bento box with 1 batch of cooked Japanese short-grain rice and side dishes.
