Mushrooms and Chicken Teriyaki

Teriyaki Mushrooms and Chicken

Stir fried mushroom and chicken with teriyaki sauce makes a quick and simple meal. This is an easy stove top chicken teriyaki. You can use the sauce to grill or bake the chicken.Grilling enhances the flavor of this savory sweet sauce by giving a caramelized coating to the chicken. The quick stir fry method also tastes delicious. I tried the home made teriyaki sauce from Swathi's blog. She made with tofu,I used chicken and mushrooms instead.

Ingredients
 Chicken- thin strips- 1 lb
Sliced mushrooms- 2 cup
Onion cut into cubes- 1 medium
Garlic- 2-3 cloves
pepper powder- 1/2 tsp
salt to taste

For the sauce
Soy Sauce-1/3 cup
(I used Kikkoman Soy Sauce)
1/4 cup mirin
( Japanese Rice vinegar)
 Palm Sugar-1 tbs
 Black strap molasses- 1 tbs
(or you can use dark brown sugar)
Grated ginger- 1 tbs
Minced garlic- 2 cloves
Sesame oil- 1 tbs
water/ chicken stock-2 tbs
Toasted sesame seeds- 1 tsp

Mix all the ingredients listed under sauce and simmer in low heat till it slightly thickens and set aside.
Dry roast sesame seeds for about a minute and set aside.
Heat oil in a pan and add minced garlic and then add sliced mushroom. Stir fry in high flame for about two to three minutes till it gets golden brown and all the moisture is absorbed. Remove from heat and transfer into a bowl. In the same pan add one tsp of oil and stir fry chicken in high heat. Add pepper powder fry till the chicken is evenly brown. Now add half of the sauce and simmer for a minute ( if you like you can add little more later). Before the sauce completely thickens add mushrooms and saute till the sauces gets evenly coated. Finally add toasted sesame seeds. Serve with jasmine or basmathi rice.
