  • 1/4 cup Honey For additional sweetness.
  • 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar Adds acidity to balance the flavors.

Equipment

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth. Gradually add this mixture to the saucepan, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour the teriyaki sauce over it. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly with the sauce and heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  6. Serve the teriyaki chicken hot, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. It pairs perfectly with steamed rice or stir-fried vegetables.
