I don’t recommend using sandwich bread because it will get soggy and fall apart due to the juicy ingredients inside. It will also work in a small crusty loaf of bread such as a batard (though you’ll need both pieces of chicken for 1 sandwich). Bread – Because the chicken is quite substantial, I usually make this sandwich using a bun.Egg – This is optional, but as we know from Oyakodon, chicken and egg go great together, and the creamy yolk from an over-easy egg takes this teriyaki chicken sandwich to the next level.This is why I recommend using sake over mirin. Most “mirin” sold outside of Japan is a mixture of corn syrup, alcohol, and flavor enhancers and is not real mirin. If you’re thinking about using Mirin instead of sake, check the ingredient label before buying it. You can substitute a pinch of MSG for the umami, but there is no good substitute for the fragrance.
As for the sake, the alcohol burns off while cooking, and it is added for its natural umami and aroma. For the sugar, I used evaporated cane sugar, which I prefer because it has more flavor, but whatever you have on hand will work. I used Kikkoman soy sauce, but any Japanese-style dark soy sauce will work.
Fried egg im in love chicken skin#
As the teriyaki sauce soaks into the skin, it loses its crispness, transforming the skin into a blanket of flavor. The skin keeps the chicken moist and tender, and since most of the fat renders out of it, its texture goes from rubbery to crispy. Chicken – I recommend using skin-on boneless chicken thighs for this.Ingredients for Teriyaki Chicken Sandwich An over-easy egg, made in the same pan as the chicken, adds richness and protein to the sandwich.Most of the fat renders out of the skin, which changes its texture and helps the skin absorb the teriyaki sauce like a sponge. Leaving the skin on allows it to protect and baste the meat, so it does not get tough.Dusting the chicken with a light coating of starch helps the sauce adhere to the surface of the chicken, ensuring it is well seasoned.This usually means egg salad at convenience stores, but you may find a quivering over-easy egg atop the chicken in bakeries or restaurants.
The main difference with Western versions of this sandwich is that a Japanese Teriyaki Chicken Sandwich almost always includes an egg. Teriyaki Chicken Sandwich (照焼チキンサンド – Teriyaki Chicken Sando) has become such a popular variation on the classic that it’s sold in almost every convenience store, as well as many bakeries around Japan. Although the traditional way of having it is to serve it with rice, Teriyaki Chicken is also enjoyed in more modern ways such as on pizza or in sandwiches. Chicken Teriyaki is one of those rare Japanese dishes that’s as popular in Japan as it is in the West.
