Chicken Teriyaki on bed of Stir Fried Bean Sprouts

Since we are craving for Japanese food these past weeks here is another Japanese dish prepared on the same day as the sushi post.  In this recipe I created my own teriyaki sauce which is explained further below.

Teriyaki as I had explained before is not a type of sauce as most of us know but instead its a method of cooking where a meat such as beef, tuna or chicken is glazed with a sauce, thats why the word “teri” in Japanese means to shine by giving sugar glazing on meats.  Now its also incorrect to marinate meat in teriyaki sauce as the traditional method of preparing teriyaki dish is by glazing the meat with the sauce after cooking.  For these recipe I used the traditional methods of preparing your teriyaki dish and here is how it goes.
