Ingredients
2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
6 skinless and boneless chicken thighs, sliced
2 large garlic cloves, crushed
1 thumb-sized piece of fresh ginger, grated
50g runny honey
30ml light soy sauce
1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
100ml water
1 tbsp sesame seeds, to serve
4 spring onions, shredded
Sticky rice, to serve
Steamed bok choi or spring greens, to serve
Directions
Heat the sesame oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken thighs and cook for about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden brown on all sides.
Add the crushed garlic and grated ginger to the pan and stir continuously for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the honey, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and water. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce to a medium heat and simmer for 2 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is coated in a thick, sticky glaze and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Transfer the teriyaki chicken to a serving platter. Scatter the shredded spring onions and sesame seeds over the top.
Serve the chicken alongside sticky rice and steamed bok choi or spring greens.
