Directions

Step 1
Whisk together soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar in a small saucepan for the teriyaki sauce. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.
Step 2
In a separate small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add to the simmering sauce and cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
Step 3
Cut chicken thighs into 1-inch pieces. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Add chicken to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.
Step 5
Reduce heat to medium. Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce over the chicken and stir to coat, letting it simmer for 1-2 minutes until the chicken is fully glazed.
Step 6
Serve the chicken teriyaki immediately over hot steamed rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped scallions.
