A quick introduction to Teriyaki Sauce ?

Teriyaki sauce, while there are many versions using different or additional ingredients, is a deliciously amazing sauce that was first made and has evolved from Japan during the 1600’s. “Teri” meaning “Luster” or “Shine” and “Yaki” which means to “grill” or “broil”. Combined, “Teriyaki” is actually a cooking method that grills or broils the meat with a shiny savory-sweet sauce glaze made of a base of soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. This method, while more commonly associated with Japanese cuisine, can also be found used in Chinese, Thai, and Indonesian cuisine. There are also a lot of variations and easy to use the sauce, sometimes used as it’s traditionally made, being brushed over meats while they grill, used to broil meat or vegetables in a pan, made into marinade, turned into a thicker sauce to be used in burgers, dipping sauce, or used to drizzle over food as decor.

How to make this Teriyaki Chicken with Cheese Recipe ?

To start with, clean your boneless and or skinless chicken breasts and pat dry with a kitchen towel before being sliced into bite-sized pieces. These are placed in a bowl with some salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika for taste. Adding in cornstarch, all purpose flour, and a large egg to help create a crispy layer when it’s fried. Set this aside while the oil is being heated up in a pot or pan at medium heat. Fry the chicken pieces in batches to avoid these from sticking to each other and turning into big clumps. Flip once one side turns golden then place these on a strainer to cool for a bit before frying one again, but now at high heat. Double frying ensures that the chicken bits will turn crips even when being tossed in the sauce later on. Once these have turned a bit darker in color, take these out and set aside over a kitchen towel or strainer. 

To make the sauce, in a small pan at low heat, mix soy sauce, honey, and sugar until the sugar dissolves. Once this starts to boil add in minced ginger, garlic, and sesame seeds as the main aromatics. Mix until the sauce has slightly reduced and it’s thick enough that it’s bubbling. Add in the fried chicken and toss these around until fully coated. Place sliced cheese on top and cover until melted. Garnish with sliced green onions if you’d like before placing these on top of freshly cooked rice.
