Home-made Japanese Style Teriyaki Chicken

Last Wednesday evening, my hubby and I decided to do some shopping at Aeon Kinta City Shopping Centre right after our dinner. We are planning to stock up a little for our daily groceries for the weekend.

While we walked pass the Japanese food section, I saw this Kikkoman Teriyaki Sauce with honey and soy. Without much considering, I place this bottle of sauce directly in my shopping trolley. I am planning to try out the Japanese Style Teriyaki Chicken since I have some chicken meat left in the refrigerator. I got this recipe from www.allrecipes.com and did some slight modifications to suit the Asian taste butts. The original recipe is meant for oven baking but I cook the chicken with frying pan.

Recipe for Home-made Japanese Style Teriyaki Chicken

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon corn starch

1 tablespoon warm water

2 tablespoons white sugar

3 tablespoons of Kikkoman Teriyaki Sauce with honey and soy

1 tablespoon of rice vinegar

½ teaspoon of minced garlic

½ teaspoon of ground ginger

½ teaspoon of ground chili flakes (you can replace with ground black pepper)

4 skinless chicken breast / thighs

  

Methods: 

1. Combine the corn starch, water, sugar, sauce, vinegar, garlic, ginger, chili flakes into a serving bowl.
2. Stir well and pour the sauce over the chicken breast / thighs. Marinate it for at least 30 minutes. If you wanted to have a more savory taste, marinate it overnight by keeping the meat in the refrigerator.
3. Once the marinating process is completed, remove the marinated chicken meat from refrigerator and leave it in room temperature for at least half an hour.
4. Heat up about 100ml of cooking oil (I used canola oil) with the frying pan and start frying the meat in low heat. Once it cooks, stop the heat, slice the chicken and serve with steam white rice.  Garnish with some sesame seeds if you like.

The result turns up great and my hubby even ate more rice than before.

Tips: You may use the Pork meat instead of Chicken meat if you prefer some piggy taste. Happy cooking.
