Instructions
- 1Cut the about 680 g boneless, skinless chicken thighs into 2.54 cm pieces.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 5Divide the 4 cups of cooked Japanese rice among four serving bowls.
- 6Spoon the teriyaki chicken and sauce over the rice in each bowl.
- 7Garnish each bowl with 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds and the 2 stalks of scallions, thinly sliced.
