Ingredients - 

Part A

3 big chicken thigh drumsticks

15g ginger, grated

*Rub the chicken thighs with salt and then rinse away. Pat dry the thighs with paper towels and marinate with part A overnight.

Part B - Teriyaki sauce 

150ml mirin (jap brand)

130ml soya sauce (jap brand)

50ml sake (jap brand)

50ml brown sugar

2 tsp olive oil

1 tsp sesame oil

1 small garlic, 3g

1 small ginger 3g

*In a pot, add the olive oil & sesame oil in follow by knob of garlic and ginger. Cook for 30 secs or until it's fragrant. Then add brown sugar in and let it melt abit/caramelize.
*Pour the mirin, soya sauce & sake in. Stir to mix well in low-med heat. Let it cook for about 10mins. Off heat, remove ginger and garlic, set aside.

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.
