Widely used in Japanese barbecue dishes, teriyaki's name comes from the Japanese word 'teri', meaning 'shine', referring to the sauce's glazing quality, and 'yaki' meaning grilled. Teriyaki's salty-sweet flavour makes it the perfect sauce to glaze meat and tofu, as an addition to stir-fries, or in dipping sauces.

a) While the rice cooks, heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
b) Once hot, add the diced chicken and stir-fry until browned all over, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.

c) While it simmers, halve the chilli lengthways, deseed and thinly slice.
a) Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper if needed.
b) Stir in the sesame seeds.
c) Add a splash of water if it needs loosening, then remove from the heat.

Enjoy!
