Ingredients
Chicken
- 800g chicken breasts, skinless and boneless, cut into strips
- 1 tablespoon oil (sesame or vegetable)
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
Sticky Teriyaki Sauce
- 2 teaspoons cornflour (cornstarch)
- 100 ml low-sodium soy sauce
- 50 ml water
- 2 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoon rice wine vinegar (or white wine vinegar)
- ½ tsp dried chilli flakes (optional)
To Serve
- Sesame seeds (roasted or plain)
- Steamed rice and broccoli
Instructions
- Mix the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk the cornflour with a splash of the soy sauce until smooth, then whisk in the remaining soy sauce, water, honey, vinegar and chilli flakes. Set aside.
- Cook the chicken: Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden and almost cooked through.
- Add flavour: Add the garlic and grated ginger to the pan and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
- Make the stick sauce: Pour in the sauce, stir well, and let it bubble gently for 3–5 minutes until thick, glossy and coating the chicken beautifully.
- Serve: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve over rice with steamed broccoli.
