chicken teriyaki

[omahawk]

so i've got the terriyaki sauce, kikommen sauce, stir fry sauce to simmer my chicken breasts in and some rice.

i want to add peas, some kind of nut *(water nuts), brocolli and carrots... how do i go about preparing them? do i just toss it into the sauce and chicken to simmer along with?

I would marinate the chicken and whatever vegetables (onion, bell pepper, tomato) you want in the teriyaki sauce, and then just stir fry or grill the vegetables when you cook the chicken.

I would just do a stir fry kind of thing.

Cut the chicken breasts into smaller cubes/pieces, marinate them a bit if you want (I don't think it really matters).

Cook the chicken then remove from pan; put in other ingredients, turn heat to high, stir fry for a little bit, put chicken back in pan with stir fry sauce for a little bit, then go for it. Add some soy or teriyaki sauce (both might be overkill) to your liking.

Serve over rice.

You've probably already done this, but I'd also put in some green onions, maybe sliced garlic, and red bell pepper (and hot peppers if you want).

I wouldn't simmer the veggies. They might get soggy. But there's a lot of ways to do it.

You can just throw raw chopped veggies in a thin layer of hot oil, and add the sauce towards the end.

I like to stir fry the meat and veggies separate, since they tend to finish at different times. Then combine them at the end with the sauce. Either way, get your wok (or pan) super hot, and keep the stuff moving. It'll cook fast, so make sure you have all ingredients ready. If the heat is too low, it'll make your veggies soggy. You want crisp and juicy.

What alden said. I used to use a wok but now just use a large cast iron skillet. Get it really hot and stir. Voila.

do you like sesame seeds? I think those set off Teriyaki sauce very well.

I strongly suggest that unless you are smitten with the Kikkoman to try the sauce from Zen. You know, the restaurant here in Austin. Theirs is cheaper and in my opinion, the best going.

Teriyaki lovers owe it to themselves to try this sauce...it is far and away the best I've ever tasted....

That is indeed great sauce. I prefer the Zen one. It is also local. But if I did not like the taste more it would not better. Before Zen sold their sauce (in their restaurants only) the above was a staple and would be again if Zen ever stopped selling theirs. You cannot go wrong with it.
