Hi, I’m Francis,
the host of this show "Cooking with Dog."
First, let’s make the teriyaki sauce.
Combine the soy sauce, sake, mirin,
sugar
and the grated garlic.
Stir to dissolve well.
Next, trim off the excess fat of the chicken thigh.
Make numerous shallow cuts along the thick part.
Then, cut the chicken into 4 pieces.
Now, heat a pan
and add vegetable oil.
Place the chicken pieces into the pan
with the skin-side facing down.
Saute the chicken on medium heat.
When the skin turns golden brown, flip the pieces over.
Lightly saute the other sides.
Turn off the burner.
Remove the excess oil with a paper towel.
Make sure to turn off the heat
otherwise the hot pan will easily burn the sauce later.
Now, pour in the teriyaki sauce
and distribute it in the pan.
Turn on the burner again.
Reduce the sauce.
Flip the chicken over
and coat the pieces with the teriyaki sauce.
Then, place the chicken onto a plate.
Now, let’s make the sandwich.
Season the chicken with shichimi, seven flavor chili powder.
This is pain de campagne, country bread in French
but you can use your favorite bread.
Place the lettuce leaves onto the bread.
Spread on the mayonnaise.
Add the sliced new onion, which doesn’t have a pungent taste.
And now for the teriyaki chicken!
Finally, pour on the remaining teriyaki sauce.
Simple plain bread rather than rich buttery bread
goes great with this recipe.
We recommend lightly toasting it before making your sandwich.
This cooking technique using the teriyaki sauce
can also be used to cook beef, pork or fish.
Good luck in the kitchen!
