Pollo Teriyaki | Un delicioso platillo japonés preparado en casa 😁

Homemade teriyaki chicken, juicy and with that sweet and savory sauce we all love. 🍗🍚 A classic of Japanese cuisine, prepared at home and served with sushi-style white rice. Easy, quick, and with that shiny glaze that looks restaurant-quality—but made in your pan. 🛒 INGREDIENTS For the rice: • 1½ cups of sushi rice / Japanese rice (approx 10.5 oz / 300 g) • 2 cups of water (approx 16 fl oz / 475 ml) For the chicken: • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or with skin if you prefer) • Salt and pepper to taste • Cornstarch (cornflour) or potato starch — approx. 2 tablespoons (1 oz / 15 g) For the sauce: • 1 cup of teriyaki sauce (approx. 8 fl oz / 240 ml) — from the supermarket, Asian section • Optional: sesame seeds for decoration ✨ Zelecisne's Tips • Rinse the rice 3 times until the water runs clear — this keeps it loose and prevents it from clumping together • If the thighs are very thick, cut them a little so they cook evenly and faster. • Cornstarch gives the chicken a crispy texture AND helps the sauce adhere better • The rice DOES NOT contain salt — the teriyaki is already flavorful and the contrast is perfect 💡 Interesting facts • "Teriyaki" comes from "teri" (shining) and "yaki" (grilled) — literally "shining and grilled" • In Japan, teriyaki chicken is an everyday home-cooked dish, not something you'd find in a fancy restaurant. • Potato starch is more common than corn starch in Japan for this type of preparation • Sushi rice is short-grain and has more starch — that's why it needs to be rinsed well I also recommend:    • Arroz Blanco Mexicano | La Técnica Correcta      • La única receta que necesitas: Caldito de ...      • Tinga de Pollo | Un platillo delicioso, fá...      • Salsa Verde Taquera | Una salsa para disfr...   👨‍🍳 STEPS 0:00 — Intro: Homemade teriyaki chicken with Japanese-style rice 0:40 — Prepare the rice: rinse 3 times until the water runs clear 1:15 — Cook the rice with 2 cups of water, without salt, over low heat for 20 minutes 2:00 — Prepare the chicken: season with salt and pepper on both sides 2:40 — Cover with cornstarch — this adds texture and helps to bind the sauce 3:20 — Cook the chicken in a hot pan 4:30 — Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken 5:30 — Let the sauce reduce and glaze the chicken 6:30 — Serve with white rice and garnish with sesame seeds 8:00 — Enjoy — it looks like a restaurant! #TeriyakiChicken #JapaneseFood #EasyRecipes #ZelecisneRecipes Recipe book: coming soon Instagram:   / zelecisnerecetas   Twitter:   / zelecisne   Facebook:   / zelecisne   Pinterest:   / zelecisne   Direct contact: [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------- Equipment I use for my recipes: (Affiliate Links) Kitchen Utensils: https://kit.co/zelecisne/utensilios-d...
