How to Make Chicken Teriyaki Donburi
  1. Prep the chicken by patting dry and slicing into 1-inch pieces.
  2. Mix the sauce by combining soy sauce, mirin, sake, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger in a bowl until sugar dissolves.
  3. Sear the chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  4. Pour the sauce over chicken, reduce heat, and simmer until the sauce thickens and glazes the chicken, about 4-6 minutes.
  5. Serve by spooning rice into bowls, topping with glazed chicken, drizzling with extra sauce, and garnishing with green onions and sesame seeds.
