Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
- 100 ml Soy sauce
- 100 ml Mirin (sweet rice wine)
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 2 cups Steamed rice
- 2 pieces Green onions, thinly sliced (optional for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, mirin, sugar, garlic, and ginger. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Place the chicken thighs into the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they develop a golden-brown crust.
Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 10-15 minutes, flipping the thighs occasionally to ensure they are evenly coated.
Allow the sauce to reduce until it thickens into a glossy glaze that coats the chicken.
Serve the chicken over steamed rice. Drizzle any leftover sauce from the skillet over the top.
Garnish with thinly sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve immediately.
