Not Your Chinese Restaurant's Teriyaki Chicken (aka, Teriyaki Chicken of Death)



I put this on top of some rice, and it was quite edible. 


Ingredients: 

1 defrosted chicken breast
a small handful of frozen corn and peas
some kikkoman teriyaki sauce
some kikkoman soy sauce
vegetable oil
balsamic vinegar
sugar, to taste


Directions:

Cut up the chicken into little pieces. In a small pan, mix 2 parts vegetable oil, 1 part soy sauce, .5 parts balsamic vinegar, and 3 parts teriyaki sauce. Add chicken and a little bit of sugar. Put on high heat until it sauce begins to bubble, then reduce heat to low. let simmer, stirring often. When you think the chicken's pretty much done, toss in the peas and corn. Simmer until everything is cooked! 


Verdict:

Not too bad. I let it simmer for a little too long, so mine was rather strong, but I think that next time I will just not cook everything for so long. The balsamic vinegar was a total accident; I thought I'd grabbed the teriyaki sauce again, and then realized I was very clearly mistaken only after I'd poured some in. I'll probably leave that out if I make this again.

  4. I figure that by watching you and then having my sister around later, I'll start to figure this kitchen thing out. Maybe.
