1. Prepare the chicken:
- Clean the chicken and cut it into bite-sized pieces. If desired, you can marinate the chicken with a bit of salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
2. Cook the chicken:
- Heat a pan over medium heat and add cooking oil. When the oil is hot, add minced garlic if desired and sauté until fragrant.
- Add the chicken pieces to the pan and stir-fry until the chicken turns golden brown and is cooked through (about 6-8 minutes). Make sure not to overcook the chicken to keep it tender.
3. Add the Teriyaki sauce:
- Pour the teriyaki sauce packet into the pan and stir it evenly with the chicken. Reduce the heat to low and let the chicken simmer with the sauce for about 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken pieces.
4. Finish and garnish:
- Turn off the heat and transfer the dish to a plate. Garnish with chopped green onions and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
5. Serve:
- Teriyaki chicken is typically served with steamed white rice and vegetables.
Note:
- If you want the sauce to have a more distinctive flavor, you can add some minced ginger or chopped chili peppers when sautéing the garlic.
- You can also substitute chicken with other types of meat, such as beef, pork, or fish, according to your preference.
