I have found through my cooking school feedback that teriyaki chicken is one of the most popular Japanese dishes. Don't feel you have to be restricted to chicken: the sauce goes well with beef, pork, salmon, or even stir-fried vegetables and tofu. If you like to think ahead, you could make extra sauce and keep it in your fridge.
INGREDIENTS
4 boneless chicken thighs
3 tbsp plain flour
Oil, for pan frying (any type except olive oil)
