Teriyaki Chicken Stir Fry

Teriyaki Chicken Stir Fry

The sweet, savory and crunchy flavors mix well. Serves 4. 45 minutes.

Ingredients

  • Teriyaki sauce:
  • 2 slices ginger, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • 3 tbsp mirin
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp corn starch
  • 1 tbsp apple vinegar
  • 2 fillet chicken breast, diced
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper (capsicum), coarsely chopped
  • 3 button mushrooms, coarsely chopped
  • 1 can pineapple slices, diced
  • 1 cup dry roasted cashews

Method

  1. Put the rice on the boil for 20 minutes
  2. Pre-heat the griller in the oven.
  3. Combine teriyaki sauce ingredients (add corn starch while still cold to prevent clumps!), bring to a boil, then simmer until it thickens some
  4. Sear the chicken cubes in peanut oil for a few minutes on high heat
  5. Brush the teriyaki sauce onto the chicken and cook for a few more minutes, then retire them to an oven plate, brush them with the thickened sauce and place under the griller. (at this point you may also add slices of eggplant and brush these and place under the griller) - check regularly and flip and re-brush after about 5 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, saute the onions for a few minutes until softened
  7. Add mushrooms, capsicum, zucchini, cooking for 10 minutes
  8. Add pineapple and cashews, along with the remaining teriyaki sauce and cook another 5-8 minutes
  9. Serve with rice, topping the stir fry with chicken pieces
