Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients: 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/3 cup orange juice, 3 Tbsp honey, 1 tsp ginger and 1 tsp sesame oil.

EASY BEEF TERIYAKI

Steps:

• Toss the beef in the cornstarch and place in the fridge for 10 minutes while you are making the sauce and heating up the oil.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet.
• When the oil is nice and hot add in the steak (I had to do two batches to avoid overcrowding the pan). Sauté until browned on both side, 3-4 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
• Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the same pan.
• Add in garlic and ginger and cook for 1-2 minutes.
• In a small bowl combine soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, sesame oil and fish sauce.
• Pour the soy sauce mixture into the pan and bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes.
• In a small bowl mix together the cornstarch and water.
• Slowly pour in the cornstarch mixture whisking continuously. Continue to cook until your desired thickness.
• Add steak back to the pan and toss to coat the beef with the sauce.
• Serve immediately with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

CHICKEN TERIYAKI

Steps:

• Mix the sake, mirin, soy sauce, sugar, ginger and sesame oil in a dish that you can steep the chicken in: I use a 23cm/8-in square Pyrex, but anything similar would do. Add the prepared chicken pieces and leave for 15 minutes. Heat the groundnut oil in a large, shallow frying pan or casserole (that has a lid) and, using a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken pieces from their dark marinating liquid to the pan and saute until they look cooked on the outside. Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces in the pan and bring to a bubble, then turn down the heat to a gentle simmer, put the lid on and cook for about 5 minutes - cut into a piece of chicken to make sure it's cooked through. Remove the cooked pieces with a slotted spoon (you could keep them warm in a bowl covered in foil) and turn the heat up under the pan to let the liquid boil down to a thick, dark syrup. Return the chicken pieces to the pan, stir well so that they are all coated in the sticky, savoury syrup, then serve with a comforting pile of sushi rice (and see the intro here for directions for cooking sushi rice) and perhaps some steamed pak choi or greens of your choice.
