RSSTeriyaki Chicken Recipe
I am currently on vacation but I promise there are some interesting posts coming up on Rasa Malaysia, for example: dinner at L'atelier de Joel Robuchon in Hong Kong and more food porn. In the meantime, please welcome My Cooking Hut (please check out her curry laksa post) back as she guest posts yet another droolsome dish: Japanese teriyaki chicken. Teriyaki ChickenGuest Writer: My Cooking Hut I believe I don't have to elaborate too much what Teriyaki Chicken is. This ever so popular Japanese dish is really well known is any part of the world. The word, teriyaki is a combination of two Japanese words "teri" and "yaki." Teri means luster and yaki means grill or broil. Teriyaki sauce can be bought in a bottle at any supermarkets. The leading brand is probably Kikkoman that I know of. For me, I prefer to mix the sauce from scratch–it tastes better I reckon. It's not at all complicated to make teriyaki sauce. The main ingredients are mirin, sake, soya sauce, and sugar. Some recipes add grated ginger...(more teriyaki chicken picture and recipe after the jump)  For Teriyaki chicken, I definitely think chicken thighs suit the most. I prefer chicken thighs over chicken breasts. I think the meat tends to be more succulent, firm and smooth. I chose to debone the chicken thighs so that it's less messy to eat. Teriyaki chicken is usually eaten with boiled rice or it could also be served over a bed of salad. Either way is great! It's really quick to make this dish–probably 20 minutes or so.Recipe: Teriyaki Chicken Ingredients: 300g deboned chicken thighs 1 tbsp sake 4 tbsp soya sauce 4-5 tbsp mirin 2 tbsp sugar 1 tbsp vegetable oil Method: 1. In a bowl, put in sake, soya sauce, mirin and sugar. Mix well and marinate the chicken in it for about 20 minutes. 2. Heat the oil in a pan, brown both sides of the chicken thighs and leave until cooked. 3. Pour in the teriyaki sauce that was used to marinate chicken in the pan and continue to cook until the chicken has glazed and covered the chicken. 4. Remove the pan from heat, serve on a plate and drizzle any remaining sauce from the frying pan. 5. Serve the teriyaki chicken with boiled rice or salad leaves. Labels: 30-Minute Meals, Japanese |

post a commentI wasn't aware that was what teriyaki meant - guess I learn something new every day!. I'm definitely going to try this some time, looks yummy. :)

Looks and sounds delicious. I like 'em grilled over a hibachi.
Hey Bee, you've been tagged! Come visit our site for details.

This dish looks delicious and very much like the teriyaki I can buy locally. I always wondered how they did the sauce because I can never replicate it at home. Now I have a clue!! Guess I need to buy a few more ingredients :-) Saki and mirin are not something I currently have stocked in my pantry.

I've tried Kikkoman's teriyaki sauce before, and refused to try teriyaki chicken for years afterwards (it smells like socks). Later, I forget how I accidentally tried teriyaki chicken with a different sauce, but it was good.
I recently made the mistake of buying Kikkoman's sweet and sour sauce, that tastes like some kind of jelly mixed with Heinz 57 -- I like it sweet, vinegary with a bit of tomato, but not with steak sauce.
But I've learned my lesson, never judge a dish if Kikkoman makes a sauce for it, until I tried it made by someone else.

OOOH! Robuchon in Hong Kong! I can't wait. Beautiful, sticky sweet chicken! Thanks Cooking Hut! :)

Looks great. Chicken Teriyaki is such a pedestrian dish, bit you've made it look delicious!

wat is sake and mirin? where can i find them in malaysia?
.
Dear Madam,
I too, am looking forward to try cooking this recipe.
However, is there any substitute for both of these items; Sake and Mirin?
Any non alcoholic suggestions would suffice.
Thanks for your help.
.
I have mirin, but no sake. I'd be interested in substitution suggestions too. Could I just use extra mirin?
.
Babyloops,
Sake is Japanese rice wine. Mirin is a kind of rice wine similar to sake but characterized by sweet taste and low alcohol content.
I think in Malaysia, you can probably get them in Isetan KL for example. Where do you live?
Zaidey,
I don't know what would substitute sake and mirin. You can try to make these without these two but I don't think it would be as nice. Probably, you can try to buy rice wine vinegar.
Diana,
I think you can just do without sake. I have checked and you could probably substitute sake for vermouth if you want.

Heya!
We made your teriyaki chicken today, but we were to lazy to look for sake in the supermarket so we substituted with the sherry that was already open and in our fridge. It tasted ok, it had an even stronger flavor than I'm used to from teriyaki! Next time i'll get the sake and see how good it'll get. Thanks for the recipe!
.
I made it and it tastes just like the teriyaki I grew up with in Hawaii! I subbed the sake with rice vinegar and it was really good. I posted the results on my blog. Thanks for the recipe!
.
I've just tried this recipe and loving it, even my fussy partner loves it!
I did not have mirin, so I googled the best substitute: Sake:Sugar in comparison to 3:1
The teriyaki chicken turned glazy, just like the ones in Japanese restaurants! I put extra 1 clove of crushed garlic when heating the oil for extra flavour without too overpowering. This dish is great for everyone, includes fussy kids as well. I thought that the sake would be a little strong, but there was no alcohol after-taste at all. So Yummmmmmmy!
