Instructions
6 steps · tick them off as you cookWhisk soy sauce, mirin, honey and cornstarch with 3 tbsp water for the teriyaki sauce.
Sear 1 lb bite-sized chicken thighs in vegetable oil over high heat until golden, 5 minutes.
5 minutesAdd bell pepper and snap-thin carrots; stir-fry 3 minutes until crisp-tender.
3 minutesStir in garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the sauce and toss until it thickens and glazes everything, about 2 minutes.
2 minutesGarnish 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.
