Chef's tips
- Marinar o frango por mais tempo, se possível, resulta em um sabor ainda mais intenso
- Mexa frequentemente para garantir que o frango não grude na frigideira
- Retifique o sal no final, pois a marinada já contém muitos sabores
Variations
- Adicione uma xícara de cebola picada para um sabor mais suave
- Use peito de frango inteiro e desenforme antes de cortar para obter pedaços maiores
- Experimente com outros molhos orientais, como molho de soja
Substitutions
- Pode-se usar molho de soya em vez de shoyu
- O óleo de gergelim pode ser substituído por azeite de oliva
- Adicione vegetais como brócolis ou champignon para variar o acompanhamento
How to store
Teriyaki chicken can be served immediately after preparation or can be kept at room temperature for up to 4 hours. To store for longer, it should be kept in the refrigerator in a closed container for up to 3 days.
Can it be frozen?
It is not recommended to freeze this dish, as the texture of the chicken may be altered when thawing. If you wish to freeze, I suggest separating the already cooked and marinated chicken, storing it in individual portions. Thaw in the refrigerator before cooking.
What to serve with
Serves very well with white rice, sautéed vegetables, and extra soy sauce to dip everything.
