Glazed Chicken Teriyaki

Glazed Chicken Teriyaki

(Serves two people)(Approx 600 calories)

2 Chicken Thigh, bone removed, skin left on

160 ml Sake

160 ml Mirin

60 ml Soy

5 grams Sugar

½ Red Onion, peeled and quartered

½ Carrot, peeled and large diced

Pinch of Sea Salt

Alter quantities to s

Method

First make the teriyaki sauce. Place the sake, mirin, soy, sugar, carrot and red onion into a pan and place on a high heat until to boils. Continue to boil for 10 minutes than reduce the heat and simmer. You need to reduce the original amount by half.

Prepare the chicken thighs by patting them dry, sprinkling the skin with the salt. Place the pan on the highest flame. Add a little vegetable oil to the pan, when the oil is hot add the chicken thighs skin side down. Colour the skin then turn the pan down to a medium heat. Cook for 4 minutes then turn the thighs over. Cook for a further 1 minute.

When the chicken is thoroughly cooked, add the teriyaki sauce to the pan and glaze the chicken thighs in the sauce turning whilst cooking. Be careful not to burn the sauce (if it starts to burn add a dash of cold water).

Place the rice, cabbage or alternatives onto the serving plate and neatly place the glazed chicken onto the plate. Drizzle with some extra of the teriyaki sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

One Of The Tricks To Sleeping Well.

A Collaboration post

One of the tricks to sleeping well is a good mattress!


I like my sleep if I have not slept well then my whole days falls apart and everyone else can suffer as a result and that is not really fair. We have a king size bed and when we first got it we had one of those memory foam mattresses from another company it was fine at first then it got a bit squishy and lumpy. It was a first generation memory foam mattress so the technology really wasn't at its best.

I now have a sprung mattress but it has a memory foam topper, I am fine with it but Mr T is moaning that it doesn't feel quite right to him so it looks alike we will be changing our mattress very very soon.


As technology has moved on you can be sure of a good mattress from Furniture Choice where there is a good and varied selection of mattresses to suit everyones need. You can get a mattress that is comfortable and you don't have to compromise on comfort, if you have any queries then Furniture Choice are on hand to offer you the help and advice that you might need. I love the fact that you get free delivery I wish I had known that when I ordered my son's bed which came from another retailer I could have saved myself £40 and ordered his bed from Furniture Choice instead. That £40 could of gone on something else ! like going towards a new mattress for me!

And delivery for most items be from dining room furniture to mattresses is around 7 - 10 working days subject to availability. This is another point I wish I had known when I ordered my teenagers bed from another company delivery took a month ! if I had ordered his bed from Furniture Choice then I could have saved myself a month of teenage angst.
