    Hey friends! A tip from someone who's worked in a Japanese kitchen: remember those bones he removed from the chicken thighs? Chicken bones/carcass can be roasted, then you can make a stock, and reduce it down to include in the teriyaki sauce. You can add all the teriyaki ingredients to the pot once it's simmered down, then reduce until thickened and strain out the solids. The cartilage from chicken scraps provides gelatin, which means you can skip the starch, and the extra savory chicken flavor will be included in the final sauce.

    I am visiting from Japan.
    Mirin and sake are fine as long as they are real and do not contain salt.
    And sake, preferably sweet rather than dry.
    Sugar is commonly white sugar in Japan, but other sugars should be fine. You will enjoy the difference in flavour.

      One secret I learned from a chef in Japan is to take a couple of tablespoons of sesame seeds and slightly crush them in a mortar. Crush them just enough for the skins to come off. Add them to the food about 30 seconds before it's done. The aromatics and flavor of the sesame seeds are amazing then. You can do the same thing when adding sesame seeds to sushi. It adds so much flavor that you will want it like that every time.

    Mike, I’ve made this 2 times but both a little different. The first time I made this I used your standard issue kikkoman soy sauce and subbed the sake for rice wine vinegar since I didn’t have any. It was way too salty for me so I had to add a ton of brown sugar to help balance it out. Was alright, but still too salty for my taste.
    The 2nd time I made it I got sake instead of rice wine vinegar… totally worth it. I used the Gekkeikan standard issue sake ($8-10 for 1.5L). I subbed the standard issue kikkoman soy sauce with their low sodium version as well. Then that was not salty enough and I think the mirin/sake sorta became more forward in flavor. I added 2 tbsp of regular soy sauce to help make it saltier and just because we like our sauce a little sweeter, I added 100g (1/2 cup) of light brown sugar. Probably too sweet for your palate but I think it tastes great and gives it a caramel-like flavor to the umami packed flavor it already has.
    I think my 3rd time will be sake, mirin, and 1/2 cup regular soy sauce and 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce OR 1/4 cup regular soy sauce and 3/4 cup low sodium soy sauce.
    Honestly everyone’s taste buds are a little different so it’s nice to play around with it.
    Teriyaki chicken or salmon bowls are awesome for weekday meals because it’s really easy to prepare a delicious dinner with little to no effort.

    For a less cloudy sauce you can use ground arrowroot instead of cornstarch for thickness, should be easy to find in any decent grocery store. It also thickens at a lower temperature, is less sensitive to acidic ingredients like the sake and has a more neutral flavor, although it does not go well with dairy products which works fine for this recipe.

    Lived in Japan for 3 years and went to low end joints, mid level restraunts, and high level teriyaki specific restraunts. At the lowest level it is grossly sweet. At the highest level there is sweetness, but nuanced. It's very light. It's a kiss on fantastic chicken. (or other protein or even veg.) The best places have sugar, but really tame it. It an accent that is not dominant. 35 years of cooking Japanese it's 3 ingredients. Shoyu, sake, then sweet taste balance with mirin. Reduce slightly, taste, rebalance and off heat. Then apply to product last min for some carmalization and off. It's a practice practice practice thing. Like all good cooking.

      Good info. Mike's recipe in the video had me wondering about the ratios, especially the soy sauce. For a Middle American most familiar with regular Kikkoman soy sauce, I'd be worried about the final product being too salty. And I LIKE salty things. Since there's so much variation in brands and styles of Miren, Shoyu, Sake, etc. tasting as you go is vital. I'd be tempted to use a low sodium soy sauce, and maybe kick it up with a little dab of miso and honey.

    You gave me an interesting idea about rice. Never thought to reduce the amount of water added after washing the rice, though to be fair, the rice isn't really absorbing any of the water during the wash since the wash is really quick even if you do more than the requisite three times. Though there will always be a smidge of leftover water.

    I watched this video a couple months ago when it first came out. It's what made me decide to finally get a carbon steel pan. (My go-to pans are cast iron, but they can be a bit heavy and sometimes a pain to clean.) Of course, I purchased my carbon steel pan from Misen. Stupid me, I didn't realize they also sell a non-stick pan and accidentally purchased it. When I received it, I noticed it didn't look quite like yours and then realized my mistake when the 'care instructions' said not to use metal utensils in it and didn't mention anything about seasoning the pan (like I had read in the reviews). The customer support at Misen was great and they helped me exchange the pan with no issues. They even paid for the return shipping. As I type this now, I'm in the 3rd go-around of seasoning the pan. Can't wait to use it. Thanks, Mike!

    Hey there, thanks for this recipe - I'm proud of my fried chicken, but I wanted to add Teriyaki to the list, and this hit the spot. I, uh, had to improv some of the measurements since they're not listed, and I think my mixture came out a little too thin; 2/3rds cup of Mirin, Sake, and Soy was thickened nicely by the 2tblsp Corn Starch, but not quite what was in the video. I think about 1/2 cup each would have been spot on. Still, the stuff was nice and mixed well with the veggies and rice.
    My advice for anyone else tho, definitely go for dark meat. I used chicken breast, and while it was quite nice, it's not what I remember Teriyaki being; I think the fattier dark bits might be better.
