Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
- ⅔ cup teriyaki sauce, divided
- 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon peanut or vegetable oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger
- 2 stalks green onions, cut into ½-inch slices
- 1/3 cup roasted cashew nuts, optional
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
- 1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
Instructions
- Combine chicken and ⅓ cup teriyaki sauce in medium bowl; toss to coat. Marinate for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Drain chicken discarding the marinade. Mix the remaining ⅓ cup teriyaki sauce and cornstarch in small bowl until smooth.
- Heat oil in wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook just until aromatic (under 30 seconds).
- Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry 3-4 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Pour in the cornstarch mixture. Cook and stir 1 minute or until sauce boils and thickens.
- Quickly stir in green onions, sesame seeds and cashew nuts, if using. Turn off the heat and drizzle the sesame oil. Give it a final quick stir. Serve immediately with rice on the side.
Notes
Tips:
To toast sesame seeds, spread them in a small skillet. Dry fry over medium-low heat for 3 minutes or until the seeds begin to pop and turn golden. You can also purchase pre-toasted sesame seeds.
