30 minutes

Teriyaki chicken is one of the most famous dishes in Japanese cuisine, a delightful combination of sweetness, saltiness, and tenderness. The name 'teriyaki' comes from the Japanese words 'teri' (gloss) and 'yaki' (grilling), indicating the cooking method: meat is caramelized in a thick sauce to create an appetizing glaze. This recipe harmoniously combines the aroma of soy sauce, the sweetness of brown sugar, the spiciness of sake and mirin, along with a warming note of ginger. Thinly pounded chicken breast is gently marinated, then fried to a golden color and simmered in sauce for a rich flavor. It is served with fluffy rice garnished with chives, making the dish not only delicious but also aesthetically pleasing. Perfect for a cozy dinner or festive table!
