Ingredients
Instructions
Sear Chicken: Heat cooking oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Pat chicken dry and season with kosher salt, then place in a single layer. Cook for 4-6 minutes until golden-brown, developing a rich exterior.
Craft Teriyaki Sauce: Whisk mirin, sake, soy sauce, water, and brown sugar in a mixing bowl until sugar dissolves completely. Blend a portion of the sauce with cornstarch to create a smooth thickening agent.
Simmer and Glaze: Flip chicken pieces and pour remaining sauce around the meat. Allow to simmer for 5-10 minutes, then reincorporate the cornstarch mixture, stirring continuously until the sauce transforms into a luxurious, slightly thickened glaze.
Plate and Garnish: Remove chicken from heat, slice into appealing portions, and arrange on a serving plate. Sprinkle with finely chopped scallions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve alongside steamed white rice and tender broccoli florets.
