Ingredients

  • about 680 g Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup Soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup Mirin
  • 2 tablespoons Sake
  • 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Ginger
  • 4 cups Cooked Japanese rice
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
  • 2 stalks Scallions

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1Cut the about 680 g boneless, skinless chicken thighs into 2.54 cm pieces.
  2. 2In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup mirin, 2 tablespoons sake, and 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Add the 2 cloves garlic, minced, and the 1 teaspoon ginger, grated, to the bowl and whisk again to combine. This is your teriyaki sauce.
  3. 3Heat a 30.48 cm skillet over medium-high heat (204.4°C / 200°C). Add the chicken pieces and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. 4Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Bring the sauce to a simmer and continue to cook, stirring, until the sauce has thickened enough to coat the chicken and the chicken is cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 74°C, about 5-7 more minutes.
  5. 5Divide the 4 cups of cooked Japanese rice among four serving bowls.
  6. 6Spoon the teriyaki chicken and sauce over the rice in each bowl.
  7. 7Garnish each bowl with 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds and the 2 stalks of scallions, thinly sliced.
