Chicken teriyaki is a delicious and flavorful dish that combines tender and juicy chicken with a sweet and savory sauce. The chicken is marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and ginger, which gives it an intense and aromatic flavor. It is then grilled or stir-fried until golden and caramelized. Chicken teriyaki is traditionally served with rice and stir-fried vegetables, creating a balanced and satisfying meal.

In a bowl, mix soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and grated ginger.
Add the chicken to the marinade and stir to ensure it is fully coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade, and cook the chicken in the skillet for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through.
Add the reserved marinade to the skillet and cook over medium heat until the sauce reduces and slightly thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Serve the teriyaki chicken over hot rice and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired.
