Authentic Hokben-Style Teriyaki Chicken

Ayam Teriyaki ala Hokben

Ingredients:

• 1/2 chicken breast
• 1 onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 4 red chili peppers (optional)
• Lime
• Cornstarch
• Marinade:
  • Saori Teriyaki sauce
  • Salt
  • Black pepper

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Begin by marinating the chicken breast with lime juice. Let it sit for 10 minutes to tenderize and infuse flavor. Afterward, rinse the chicken breast under cold water to remove excess lime juice.

2. Season the Chicken: Pat the chicken dry and then coat it with Saori Teriyaki sauce, salt, and black pepper. Allow the chicken to marinate for an additional 15 minutes to ensure the flavors are well absorbed.

3. Prepare the Vegetables: While the chicken is marinating, slice the onion, red chili peppers (if using), and garlic. Heat a skillet or pan over medium heat and sauté the onions, garlic, and red chili peppers until they are softened and fragrant.

4. Cook the Chicken: Add the marinated chicken breast along with the marinade to the skillet. Pour in a small amount of water and stir in some cornstarch to thicken the sauce. Allow the mixture to simmer until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened.

5. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

6. Serve: Once the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has reached your desired consistency, the dish is ready to be served. Enjoy your homemade Ayam Teriyaki ala Hokben!
