Ingredients
- about 680 g Chicken Thighs
- 1/2 cup Soy Sauce
- 1/4 cup Mirin
- 2 tablespoons Sake

- 2 stalks Green Onions
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Cut the about 680 g Chicken Thighs into bite-sized pieces, about 2.54 cm cubes.
- 2In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup Soy Sauce, 1/4 cup Mirin, 2 tablespoons Sake, 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar, 2 cloves Garlic (minced), and 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated) until the brown sugar is dissolved. This creates your teriyaki sauce.
- 3In a separate small bowl, combine the 1 tablespoon Cornstarch and 2 tablespoons Water, stirring until smooth to make a slurry.
- 4Heat a 30.48 cm skillet over medium-high heat (204.4°C / 200°C). Add the cut chicken pieces and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 74°C.
- 5Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce mixture over the chicken in the skillet. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and continue to stir for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
- 6Divide the 4 cups Cooked Rice among four serving bowls. Top the rice with the teriyaki chicken and sauce.
- 7Garnish the bowls with 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds and the 2 stalks Green Onions (thinly sliced).
