Chicken Teriyaki

Chicken Teriyaki, I had seen this recipe all over social media and I wanted to try it. I was waiting for a right moment to make it and it was my in laws wedding anniversary. I ended up making teriyaki chicken.

It was so easy to make with simple ingredients and delicious. Teriyaki is a cooking technique used in Japanese cuisine in which food is broiled or grilled with a glaze of soya sauce, sugar and mirin.  With time and talent there are few more ingredients and substitutes added to the original recipe.  Like adding ginger, garlic, white wine, pineapple juice, sesame seeds etc.

 It has a great flavour to it even though its only few ingredients. I was sceptical on trying it but I’m glad that I decided to make it. It was delicious and specially if you like Chinese dishes you would like this as well.  Its super EASY!!

Even I did not have the mirin and the brown sugar instead I have added vinegar and jaggery. I give my kids jaggery instead of sugar so I have stock of jaggery most of the time.

 

 

                  You will need

• 1 kg Breast chicken
• 1 cup dark soy sauce
• 1 tsp vinegar
• ½ cup brown sugar (I used jaggery)
• 2 tbsp of corn flour (optional. Only if u want to have gravy)
• 2 tbsp oil
• 1 tsp salt

1.  First in a non-stick pan add oil and chicken. Let the chicken fry till golden brown on both sides.
2. In a bowl add soya sauce, vinegar and sugar mix well.
3. Once the chicken is done into d same pan add the soya sauce mix and stir it well. Let it cook till the gravy is dried.
4. At this point if u want gravy u can mix corn flour with ¾ cup water and add it to the sauce. And you will have a thick gravy. 
5. Once done garnish with sesame seeds. Serve hot.
