Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 650 g Chicken breasts Skinless, boneless, cut into chunks
  • 1 tbsp Oil Sesame, vegetable or sunflower
  • 2 cloves Garlic Peeled and crushed
  • 1 tsp Ginger puree
For the Teriyaki Sauce
  • 2 tsp Cornflour See notes
  • 100 ml Soy sauce 0.5 cups
  • 50 ml Water 0.25 cups
  • 3 tbsp Honey
  • 2 tbsp White wine vinegar
  • 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Ginger purée
  • 0.5 tsp Dried chilli flakes Optional
To garnish
  • 1 Sesame seeds

Equipment

  • Small bowl
  • Frying pan
  • Steamer pan

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, mix the cornflour with a little soy sauce to create a smooth paste. Gradually whisk in the remaining soy sauce, water, honey, white wine vinegar, garlic powder, ginger purée, and optional chilli flakes until well combined.
  2. Heat the oil in a frying pan over high heat until very hot.
  3. Add the chicken pieces to the hot pan and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until almost cooked through.
  4. Add the crushed garlic and ginger to the pan and cook for another 3-4 minutes until softened.
  5. Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce into the pan with the chicken. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring, until the sauce has thickened and coats the chicken evenly.
  6. While the chicken is cooking, prepare your rice according to package directions. You can also steam green vegetables like broccoli in a steamer pan for the last 5 minutes of the chicken's cooking time. If desired, mix the steamed vegetables into the chicken and sauce just before serving.

Notes

For a smoother sauce, ensure the cornflour is fully dissolved in a small amount of liquid before adding the rest of the sauce ingredients. You can serve this dish with steamed rice and your favorite green vegetables.
