27 min4 servingsEasyJapanese

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless chicken thighs
  • 1,5 cups red bell pepper
  • 1 cups carrots
  • 0,33 cups soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp mirin
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp garlic
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 tbsp green onion

Instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk soy sauce, mirin, honey and cornstarch with 3 tbsp water for the teriyaki sauce.

  2. 2

    Sear 1 lb bite-sized chicken thighs in vegetable oil over high heat until golden, 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add bell pepper and snap-thin carrots; stir-fry 3 minutes until crisp-tender.

  4. 4

    Stir in garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  5. 5

    Pour in the sauce and toss until it thickens and glazes everything, about 2 minutes.

  6. 6

    Garnish with green onion and sesame seeds.

Chef's tip

Use chicken thighs over breast — their higher fat keeps the meat juicy under the high heat and lets the teriyaki cling better.

Suggested pairing

A dry sparkling sake refreshes the palate against the sweet glaze.
