Instructions
Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle it with salt, then lightly coat both sides with flour or starch.
In a small bowl, mix the ingredients for Japanese teriyaki sauce (sake, mirin, sugar, and soy sauce).
Heat oil in a pan and sauté the chicken over medium heat until both sides are browned.
Blot any excess oil from the pan with paper towels. Pour the sauce from the bowl into the pan, increase the heat slightly, and let it simmer. Flip the chicken occasionally to coat it evenly in the sauce, cooking until the sauce thickens.
Once the sauce has thickened, add the mayonnaise and stir well to combine. To prevent the sauce from burning, turn off the heat immediately after mixing in the mayonnaise.
Serve the chicken on a plate and garnish with a spring mix and cherry tomatoes on the side, if desired.
