Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken thighs, removed from the bone and skin removed cut into bite sized pieces
  • 2 stalks celery
  • 2 medium carrots
  • 6-8 Napa cabbage leaves
  • 4 oz snow peas
  • ½ yellow or sweet onions

For the teriyaki

Instructions

  • Prep all your chicken and vegetables before you begin, and set them aside.
  • Heat a wok over medium heat and add enough oil to coat the pan.
  • Add the chicken and salt to taste. Cook until the chicken is browned and reaches 175 degrees when checked with an instant-read thermometer. Stir the chicken often as it cooks.
  • Remove the chicken from the wok and set it aside. Add the carrots and celery at the same time. Drizzle with oil if necessary and season with salt to taste. Cook until the carrots and celery are tender. Set aside
  • Add the core/stem of the Napa cabbage. Drizzle with oil if necessary and season with salt to taste. Cook until the cabbage starts to become translucent, then add the rest of the Napa. Cook until tender. Set aside
  • Now, cook the snow peas. Drizzle with oil if necessary and season with salt to taste. When the peas are browned and tender, set them aside.
  • Add the onions and cook until softened. Keep the onions in the wok as you prepare the sauce.

How to make the sauce

  • In a bowl, combine all the sauce ingredients and mix well.
  • Add the ingredients to the wok. Stir often until the sauce thickens, which may only take a minute or two. You'll know it's done when it’s thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Add the chicken and all the vegetables back to the wok. Mix everything into the sauce and serve hot over sushi rice.
