- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup mirin
- 1/4 cup sake

Instructions: How to Cook Quintessence Chicken Teriyaki
- Start by preparing the teriyaki sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, mirin, sake, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the sauce while whisking constantly. Continue to cook the sauce until it thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then grill for 6-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
- Brush the teriyaki sauce onto the chicken during the last few minutes of cooking, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
- Once the chicken is cooked through and glazed with the teriyaki sauce, remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve the Quintessence Chicken Teriyaki garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Enjoy!
