Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Combine soy sauce, orange juice, mirin, brown sugar, garlic and ½ cup water in a large skillet, and blend well. Add the cilantro and five-spice powder. Bring to a boil, add the chicken, partly cover the skillet, and simmer 20 minutes or until tender. Remove chicken from sauce. Set aside, and keep warm.

  2. Step 2

    Make the teri glaze, by blending the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water into a smooth paste. Bring 1 cup of the sauce to a boil, and stir in paste to thicken into a glaze.

  3. Step 3

    Brush the chicken with the glaze. Garnish with green onions and bean sprouts.

Had this at a roadside stand in Maui, had to figure out how to. No Japanese wine at my house. Reduced the soy sauce because of salt concerns and added at least two cups of good orange juice. Added a little sesame oil and the other spices. Put it all in a shallow baking dish and marinated it for a couple of hours, then put the whole thing in the oven @ 350 for 45 minutes. The marinade reduced down to make a lovely glaze. Jasmine rice and lots of fresh pineapple made it all perfect.

One of my all time favorite recipes. So easy in the Instant Pot - just combine all ingredients and cook for 8 minutes. Chicken comes out meltingly tender.

Step 1 mentions adding ginger but it’s not listed in the ingredients so it’s unclear how much should be used. It’s a great dish, though — everyone loved it.
