Top 5 Teriyaki Chicken

When I say 'Top 5' I mean it makes the top 5 of my children's 'top 5 dinners of all time' list.  They would eat this stuff every night given half a chance.  It is so delicious with the balance of sweet and salty and with sushi rice what more could I hungry child want? 

To make the Teriyaki Sauce simple mix together the following ingredients:
1/4 cup light soy sauce
1/4 cup mirin
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons crushed fresh ginger(out of a jar)
1 teaspoon sesame oil

Then marinade enough diced skinless boneless chichen thigh or breast meat for 4 people (about 500g) for about an hour.

Using a slatted spoon remove the chicken from the marinade and transfer into an oiled frying pan and fry until brown.  Then pour over the marinade and fry until the chicken is cooked (5-10 minutes).  Then remove the chicken from the frying pan using a slatted spoon and continue to simmer the sauce until it thickens.

Serve the chicken on top of rice (sushi rice works fantastically and I use the leftover to make teriyaki sushi) and pour the thickened marinade over the top.  Garnish with some toasted sesame seeds.

Tonight we are having teriyaki chicken on sushi rice with some greens asian style.
