Ingredients
Chicken Stir Fry
- 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs diced into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped ginger
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- salt and pepper to taste
Teriyaki Sauce
- ¼ cup tamari soy sauce or coconut aminos
- ¼ cup sake
- ¼ cup mirin
- 2 tablespoons honey
Garnish
- sesame seeds

Instructions
- Make the teriyaki sauce. In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sake, mirin, and honey until everything is well combined. Set this aside.
- Stir fry the chicken. Heat the oil in a large saute pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add in the chicken and let it cook for 1 to 2 minutes on one side, until nice and golden. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Then, flip it over and cook the other side for another 1 to 2 minutes.
- Toss together. Give the sauce a quick whisk and add it to the pan along with the minced ginger and garlic. Stir the sauce with the chicken and let it simmer for 4 to 5 minutes until the sauce has reduced and thickened.
- Serve on top of a fresh bed of rice and a side of steamed broccoli. Garnish with diced green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes
- Storage tip: If you’ve got leftovers, store the teriyaki chicken and rice in individual containers in the fridge for up to 4 days. Separate containers will make sure your rice doesn’t get soggy from the sauce. This will also last for up to 3 months in the freezer.
- If you don’t have sake: you could use more mirin and reduce the honey. You could also substitute dry sherry or white wine.
- If you don’t have mirin: you could use more sake and add more honey. You could also substitute a 3:1 ratio of water to honey.
