Easy 15-Minutes Chicken Teriyaki (No Mirin and Sake)

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
easy quick 10 minutes pan fry chicken teriyaki without alcohol no mirin and sake

Ahh, the beautiful Chicken Teriyaki. It’s a delicious pan fried chicken glazed with a savory and sweet sauce that will keep you thinking about it for days. Today I’m sharing an easy 15-minute recipe that only requires 4 ingredients for the sauce without using mirin and sake.

Teriyaki is actually the term for a Japanese cooking method. Teri means “shiny” and Yaki can mean both “grilled” and “pan fried”. Hence, chicken teriyaki is really just pan fried chicken with a shiny glazed sauce. And though it’s super easy and effortless to make, it definitely does not take away from how tasty this chicken dish is.

I kid you not, there will be periods of time when I crave for this every other day. And because it doesn’t take long to prepare, I don’t even mind!

Tip: You can also use this sauce and make some delectable chicken wings.

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless chicken thighs
  • 4 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1.5 tbsp sugar
  • salt and pepper
  • sesame seeds (optional – for garnish)
  • green onion (optional – for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Mix the soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, honey and sugar in a bowl to make the teriyaki sauce.
  • Season chicken thighs on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • In a medium sized frying pan, heat up 2 tbsp of cooking oil over medium heat.
  • Once the cooking oil is hot enough, pan fry chicken thighs for 3-5 minutes on each side or flip over once the chicken browns.
  • Remove the chicken and turn the heat to low. Add the teriyaki sauce into the pan and bring to a simmer.
  • Once it's simmering, add the chicken back to the pan and coat it with the sauce.
  • Let it cook for a few more minutes or until the sauce thickens. Serve the chicken over/with rice and your choice of veggies.
  • Drizzle remaining sauce on top of the chicken and garnish with sesame seeds and green onion. Enjoy!

Notes

*I wanted to make this recipe non-alcoholic, so I substituted the mirin and/or sake with apple cider vinegar and honey.

This Malaysian style soy sauce eggs is one of my favorite easy meals and it’s also a comfort food not just for me but for many Malaysians. I ate this a lot growing up and during my student days. Probably one of the first recipes I learned how to cook!
The sauce is just sweet soy sauce (kicap/kecap manis), light soy sauce and water!

Savory Oatmeal @farahjeats I’m a savory kind o Savory Oatmeal @farahjeats 
I’m a savory kind of girl and have always preferred my oatmeals savory. Some people think it’s weird, I say don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. The best part? You can be creative with this! I’ve added pesto to my oatmeal before and it was delicious.
I also prefer a thicker oatmeal, add more water if you don’t. 
Would you try this or are you sticking to your sweet oatmeal? 😋
