Teriyaki Chicken
Ingredients
- Thigh fillets2
- Soy sauce1 ½ tbsp
- Sake1 ½ tbsp
- Mirin1 ½ tbsp
- Sugar2 tsp
- Cabbage · shredded2 cups
- Carrot½ cups
- Bell pepper¼ cups
- Mint1 sprig
Instructions
- Mix the soy sauce, sake, mirin and sugar in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves.
- If the chicken is uneven in thickness, butterfly the thick part by cutting horizontally outward.
- Prick the skin in several places with a knife tip so the sauce penetrates.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Place the chicken skin side down and cook 3-4 minutes until the skin is golden brown.
- Flip the chicken and cook for about 3 minutes. Blot any excess oil with paper towel.
- When nearly cooked, add the sauce, swirl the pan, cover and cook for 30 seconds.
- Uncover and cook until the sauce thickens and reduces to about 1-1½ tablespoons. Turn the chicken and coat the skin side with sauce.
- Remove from heat, place skin side up on a board, cover with foil for a few minutes, then slice into 1.5-2 cm pieces.
- Arrange the shredded cabbage, carrot and capsicum on a plate, top with the sliced chicken, pour over the sauce and add parsley or mint if using.
