Teriyaki Chicken Bites

Ingredients

1/2 Cup Shoyu

1/3 Cup Mirin

1/3 Cup Sake

2 Tablespoons Sugar

1/2 Inch Piece of Ginger (finely minced)

3 Cloves Garlic (finely minced)

1 Pound Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs (cut into 1 inch pieces)

1 Tablespoon Cooking Oil of Choice

1 Teaspoon Cornstarch

2 Teaspoons Water

2 Green Onions (thinly sliced)

Furikake (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Mix the sauce. In a bowl, whisk shoyu, mirin, sake, sugar, ginger, and garlic. Reserve ¼ cup of the sauce and set aside for cooking. The rest is for a quick marinade.
  2. Quick marinade. Toss chicken with the larger portion of sauce (not the ¼ cup you saved). Allow to marinate for 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  3. Sear. Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add oil, then spread chicken in a single layer. Cook 3–4 minutes undisturbed until browned, flip, and cook another 3–4 minutes until cooked through or until an internal temperature of 165F.
  4. Glaze. Mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl making a cornstarch slurry. Stir the saved ¼ cup sauce with the cornstarch slurry. Pour into the pan and toss. Simmer for 1–2 minutes until glossy and thick.
  5. Finish & serve. Optionally, sprinkle green onion and sesame seeds. Serve over rice and veggie side. ENJOY!
