• Quick Japanese Cooking: Teriyaki Chicken Don

  
  In anticipation of my approaching poor and overworked MBA student days, I've recently began scouting and trying out more fast/simple cooking recipes.
  
  Whether you are a busy working professional or multi-tasking student, if you are/will be time-&-cash-strapped like me, stay tuned to this space for more quick dishes in the coming days! Today, I shall start the ball rolling with a personal favorite, the Japanese Teriyaki Chicken Don (i.e. Teriyaki Chicken served on rice).
  
  It's certainly one of those dishes where you can prepare in a jiffy and savor Japanese goodness without breaking your wallet. Shall we begin?

  Ingredients:

  • 200g chicken thigh (sliced)
  • 1 pack of shredded seaweed
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar
  • 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoon of rice wine
  • Shichimi (Seven flavor chili pepper) - Optional

  

  Place chicken in a fry pan, skin facing down. Cook till chicken browns.

  

  Mix 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp soy sauce & 1 tbsp rice wine together.

  

  Turn chicken over and add in the above mixture. Heat till the entire chicken is thoroughly cooked.

  

  Place cooked rice in a bowl, add the chicken on top and complete the topping with shredded nori.

  Sprinkle shichimi if you like a touch of spice to your dish like I do!

  Let's tuck in!

  I certainly look forward to recreating this dish in France next year whenever I feel "homesick" about my life here in Tokyo. In the meantime, I hope this dish will add yummy Japanese flavors to your day wherever in the world you may be.
