Ingredients:
600 g chicken breast fillet or Fry's Vegan Chicken Strips
100 grams of spring onions
2 tbsp cane sugar
20 g fresh ginger
3 cloves of garlic
1 shallot
100 ml soy sauce
2 tsp honey or maple syrup
20 ml rice wine vinegar
1 tsp cornstarch
3 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp sesame seeds
pinch of salt and pepper
Preparation:
Slice the chicken breast and place in a medium pan or prepare Fry's Vegan Chicken Strips as per the instructions.
Mix soy sauce, rice wine, honey, and a pinch of pepper into a sauce. Cut the garlic, ginger, and shallot into small cubes and add to the sauce and pour over the chicken. Simmer on low for 20-30 minutes.
Chop the spring onion and sauté in a separate pan with the cane sugar and allow to caramelize slightly. Set the pan aside and let cool.
Take the chicken out of the pot. Add starch to the sauce with a dash of water, stir and bring to a boil briefly until the sauce has thickened. Then put the chicken back into the pot, season, and leave to stand for a moment. After about 2 minutes, pour the chicken and sauce into the lunch box and garnish with sesame, sesame oil, and spring onions.
Serve the chicken teriyaki with rice/noodles and stir-fried vegetables of choice.
