Billy's Sake Teriyaki Chicken Don

I had an urge last Saturday to have Japanese for dinner, so decided t cook Teriyaki Don and invited Jay over for tasting. I actually wanted to try and make Katsudon but is a hell lot of work to make deep fried battered pork, so I used Teriyaki Chicken instead. I went to local organic store, Macro, to get some ingredients that I need. I bought a bottle of Soy Sauce for Sashimi, can't use chinese Soy Sauce cuz it has different taste, a bottle of Sake rice wine for cooking and some sesame sprinkles which can make a big different while serving rice. The teriyaki chicken tasted pretty good, especially the flavor from Sake rice wine with Shitake Mushroom blended really well. Love cooking, just wish I have time to experience more often.

Next page for my illustrated recipe on how to make Sake Teriyaki Chicken Don.

Ingredients : Sake cooking rice wine, Sesame Sprinkles, Sashimi Soy Sauce, Oyster Sauce, 5 Eggs, 4 chicken breast, corn flour, 1 onion, green peas, 4 big Shitake Mushroom, salt and pepper to taste. 1 cup of Rice (steam cook, you know the deal).



I marinated the chicken 2 hours before cooking. Cut the chicken in cube size, marinate with Oyster Sauce, Sashimi Soy Sauce, Sake rice wine, pinch of salt and pepper.



Soaked the Shitake mushroom in hot water for at least one hour to get the moisture back into the mushroom. Drained the water, squeeze the mushroom to get all the salty taste water out then sliced into strips. Any hard bits, get rid of it.



Fried the chicken till golden brown, pour in water together with corn flour along the way to make a thick sauce for it. Add in the mushroom and bring it to stew in low heat.

Sliced the onions, and fry it till soft, then beaten the eggs with bit of water so the omelette will be nice and fluffy. While the onion is cooking, pour in the egg mix to form the omellette. Before the egg is set, sprinkles some green peas on top which I totally forgot!!

Flip the omelette only once, and dont overcook it. Add more Sake rice wine to the chicken to taste. You can smell the aroma is sweet and alcoholic.


Put the rice into a ricebowl to form a nice half round shape rice ball while flipping on plate. Sprinkles the sesame seasoning on top of the rice. Serve the chicken on the side together with the omelette. Traditionally, normally it serves in a bowl, rice at the bottom, chicken in the middle and omelette on top with sauce dribbling down the side, but on a plate will do.
