Steps -
1. Prepare Part A first and leave it overnight in fridge.
2. Cook the Part B and then set it aside.
3. To cook the chicken thighs, remove from fridge, allow to rest till room temperature.
4. In a wok, heat up some oil to sear both sides of the chicken thighs about 2 mins.
5. Once it turns opaque, add the teriyaki sauce in (part B) and cook with low-med heat with lid covered for 8 mins.
6. Open lid, flip the thighs and continue to cook till cooked. The juice run clear when poke through the meat. I took about 9 mins.
Done. Garnish with sesame seed and scallions.
