Teriyaki Chicken Thigh Rice Bowl

Ingredients

  • 2 chicken thighs
  • 1 cooking wine
  • 1 honey
  • 0.5 dark soy sauce
  • 3 light soy sauce
  • 3 ginger
  • 2g black pepper
  • a large bowl water
  • 0.5 oyster sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare 2 chicken thighs (the ones pictured are over 300g each).
  2. After cleaning, debone the thighs. First cut open with a knife, then use scissors to remove the bone.
  3. Deboned cleanly!
  4. Lightly pound the meat with the back of a knife to tenderize.
  5. Add ginger strips, black pepper, and cooking wine. Marinate for 20 minutes.
  6. Important step — make the teriyaki sauce. Store-bought teriyaki sauce is expensive, but homemade is just as good. Mix 3 tbsp light soy sauce, 0.5 tbsp dark soy sauce, 0.5 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp honey, and a large bowl of water. Stir until combined.
  7. Add a little oil to the pan. Pan-fry the marinated chicken thighs until both sides are lightly golden.
  8. Pour in the prepared sauce. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low and simmer for about 10-15 minutes.
  9. Cook until the sauce thickens and reduces like this.
  10. Remove and slice the chicken.
  11. Place the sliced chicken over steamed rice.
  12. Drizzle the remaining sauce from the pan over the top. Done!
  13. The ingredient list is for 2 chicken thighs. If using only 1, halve the seasonings. Use low-sodium light soy sauce for just the right saltiness.

How can I make this spicier?

Add chili oil or chili crisp to taste, or include dried red chilies during cooking. A dash of Sichuan peppercorn adds a different kind of heat.
