Honey teriyaki !

my second slow cooker recipe from "stealth health life" and this one was the honey teriyaki! And if anyone has tried Sarku Japan, it has that similar taste to it (best way i can describe it)

I packed it for my lunch for the week in my canteen along with rice, pan fried tofu, & pasta salad.

recipe:

Ingredients:

1360g (48oz) boneless skinless chicken thighs

75g (5 Tbsp) soy sauce

30g (2 Tbsp) dark soy sauce

80g (4 Tbsp) honey

60g (4 Tbsp) mirin

30g (2 Tbsp) ginger paste

15g (1 Tbsp) garlic paste

High: 4-5 hours

OR

Low: 5+ on low

Corn Starch Slurry (to thicken sauce):

3 Tbsp cornstarch

4 Tbsp cold water

Your first picture doesn’t look like there’s any sauce on it. Did you strain the meat before mixing up the cornstarch/sauce separately?

no I just stirred in the corn starch and water in with the chicken and let it sit with the lid off for 15 mins

that look great, saving it for future use. I love getting the big bags of frozen stir fry veggies from costco, just for recipes like this.
