Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Meatless chicken strips
- 60 ml Soy sauce
- 60 ml Mirin
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 2 cloves Garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
Start by finely mincing the garlic cloves and grating the fresh ginger.
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the soy sauce mixture.
In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water until smooth. Set aside.
Slice the green onions into thin rounds and set aside for garnish.
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat.
Add the meatless chicken strips and cook according to the package instructions, usually around 5-7 minutes, until they are heated through and slightly crispy.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the teriyaki sauce mixture over the cooked meatless chicken strips in the skillet.
Stir well to coat all the strips with the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend.
Slowly add the cornstarch mixture into the skillet, stirring constantly to thicken the sauce.
Once the sauce has thickened to your liking, remove the skillet from heat.
Serve the vegetarian teriyaki chicken with a sprinkle of sliced green onions and sesame seeds over the top.
