Instructions
Making Teriyaki Chicken is straightforward and can be broken down into the following steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
2. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, water, brown sugar, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger.
3. Cook the Chicken: Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Thicken the Sauce: In another small bowl, mix cornstarch with a tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Add this to the sauce mixture and stir.
5. Combine: Pour the sauce over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly.
6. Simmer: Let the mixture simmer for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and the chicken to cook through.
7. Serve: Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove from heat. Serve it over cooked rice or noodles.
8. Garnish: Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
