  My recipe for teriyaki chicken is to fry two chicken thighs skins down on medium low heat from a cold pan until they release - good to press them down to get good contact. Flip, toss in the following sauce and put a lid on for five minutes Teriyaki chicken sauce - 3-4 ppl 醤油　…　大さじ1 みりん　…　大さじ3 酒　…　大さじ3 my note to myself is “don’t increase the amount!” Remove the lid fry the thighs until you’re happy with how they look, remove them, then reduce the sauce

Currently in the process of adding とろみ

  Stressful day included pc network issues on a day I had a translation due - perhaps due to my Ethernet adapter Getting yelled at and called names by our eldest kid More network issues the night before partner needs to start work in the home office at 7am - it turns out our wifi router forgot its pppoe settings, perhaps because I was power cycling it to try and diagnose my earlier network issues
