Japanese Teriyaki Chicken Burger
A pan-seared chicken thigh burger glazed with a soy, mirin and sake teriyaki reduction, layered with napa cabbage, scallion and Japanese mayonnaise inside a toasted brioche bun. The sweet-savoury glaze caramelizes against the sear, giving a sticky, umami-rich finish balanced by crisp, cool cabbage.

Instructions
1
Prep
Pat the chicken thigh dry. Whisk soy sauce, mirin, sake, brown sugar, ginger and garlic together in a small bowl until sugar dissolves.
2
Marinate
Coat the chicken thigh in half the sauce and let it rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
3
Sear
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Lay the chicken skin-side down and cook 5 to 6 minutes until the skin is deep golden and releases easily.
4
Glaze
Flip the chicken, pour in reserved sauce, and reduce over medium heat 4 to 5 minutes, turning once, until glossy and thick; cook through until no pink remains.
5
Toast
Split the brioche bun and toast the cut sides in the same skillet over medium heat for 1 minute until golden at the edges.
6
Build
Stir rice vinegar into mayonnaise and spread over both bun halves. Layer shredded cabbage, glazed chicken, scallion and sesame seeds on the base.
7
Plate
Close the burger with the top bun and serve immediately while the glaze is warm.
