Chicken Teriyaki Nigella Lawson Recipes

CHICKEN TERIYAKI

Steps:

• Mix the sake, mirin, soy sauce, sugar, ginger and sesame oil in a dish that you can steep the chicken in: I use a 23cm/8-in square Pyrex, but anything similar would do. Add the prepared chicken pieces and leave for 15 minutes. Heat the groundnut oil in a large, shallow frying pan or casserole (that has a lid) and, using a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken pieces from their dark marinating liquid to the pan and saute until they look cooked on the outside. Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces in the pan and bring to a bubble, then turn down the heat to a gentle simmer, put the lid on and cook for about 5 minutes - cut into a piece of chicken to make sure it's cooked through. Remove the cooked pieces with a slotted spoon (you could keep them warm in a bowl covered in foil) and turn the heat up under the pan to let the liquid boil down to a thick, dark syrup. Return the chicken pieces to the pan, stir well so that they are all coated in the sticky, savoury syrup, then serve with a comforting pile of sushi rice (and see the intro here for directions for cooking sushi rice) and perhaps some steamed pak choi or greens of your choice.

Steps:

• In a non-reactive dish, stir together sake, mirin, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger and sesame oil. Add chicken pieces, toss, cover with plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Add noodles to salted boiling water and cook until done (they should be fully soft, not al dente like Italian pasta).
• While noodles cook, heat peanut oil in wok or large skillet over medium flame. Remove chicken from marinade and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes. Add marinade, cover and simmer 10 minutes.
• Add sugar snap peas to noodles.
• Transfer chicken pieces to a large piece of foil and fold to seal inches Turn up flame under sauce until it thickens to a glaze. Add chicken back to pan (with any accumulated juices) and toss to coat.
• Drain noodles and peas, and transfer to a serving dish. Pour chicken over the top.
