Teriyaki glazed pan fried chicken

​ https://i.redd.it/qmv6suo9pyq11.jpg ​ It's Monday night, and Monday calls for innovation! I will separate it in 2 parts: The sauce and the chicken. ​ Time: 20 minutes (marination is best overnight)Serves: 4 ​ SAUCE: 1 clove garlic, finely diced 1 small bit of ginger, finely diced 1 teaspoon Sesame seed oil/tahini oil 2 teaspoons olive oil 50 g Brown Sugar (1.76 oz) 120 ml Soy Sauce (0.63 US Cup) 150 ml Mirin (0.63 US Cup) 50 ml Sake (0.21 US Cup) Toasted Sesame seeds (for thick sauce) ​ Steps: Pre heat your pan to high and add in your oil, garlic and ginger. Cook until golden brown and burning, about 2 minutes. Add in your brown sugar, just until it starts to caramelize. About 30 seconds. Add in your soy sauce, mirin, and sake. Add in your toasted sesame seeds for a thicker sauce, opt out for a runnier sauce. (I used thick sauce, and if you can't buy toasted sesame seeds just roast them in the oven for about 10 minutes on 400°C/752°F) For a runny smooth sauce, cook for about 5 minutes and stir constantly. Remove from heat when done. For a thick sauce, cook until stiff; about 8 or 10 minutes. Set sauce aside. (I recommend to microwave it for about a minute before pouring to keep it hot at max power) ​ CHICKEN:2 boneless chicken thighs, skin on 2 teaspoons olive oil 4 tablespoons lemon juice 1 small shallot, diced finely 2 tablespoons lemongrass powder 2 tablespoons brown sugar/molasses 10g curry powder 10g fresh coriander Salt, to taste Pepper, to taste 1 sprig rosemary (not for marination, for cooking) 1 sprig thyme (not for marination, for cooking) Sesame seeds, for garnish Steps: Chop up your chicken thighs into cubes/smaller chunks. Rub your chicken thighs with olive oil and season all ingredients. Mix and marinate together for at least 6 hours. Pre heat pan to medium high, add in oil and sear for about 6 to 8 minutes on each side. While searing, add in rosemary and thyme sprigs. Baste chicken until it turns dark golden brown. Place your chicken on a plate and glaze your teriyaki sauce over it. Garnish with sesame seeds and serve with fried rice/white rice. ​ submitted by /u/MarijuanaBagels [link] [comments]
