Ingredients
- 3/4 lbs. chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons sake
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 4 tablespoons mirin
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Directions
Prick the chicken all over using a fork. Combine all the other ingredients together in a bowl. Use this mixture as a marinade for the chicken and place it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan.
Place the chicken in the pan and fry over a moderate heat until nicely browned. Turn the chicken pieces over and brown the other side as well. Now pour in the chicken marinade into the pan. Cover and allow the chicken to cook on a low heat until done. Take off the lid and let the chicken simmer until the sauce reduces.
Take the pan off the heat. Slice the chicken and pour the sauce over it. This was, short, wasn’t it? Well, if you need more information on how to make a Teriyaki sauce at home, here you go.
