In a medium saucepan, add all the teriyaki sauce ingredients along with the cornstarch/water mixture. Stirring frequently, bring sauce to a simmer. Cook until sauce thickens and reduces to about half.. Sauce will be dark brown.
Once sauce has thickened up, remove from heat immediately. Cover to keep warm.
For the chicken:
Pat chicken dry and season with salt, garlic powder and pepper on all sides.
Toss chicken in cornstarch until fully coated.
In a skillet or wok over medium-high heat, add oil. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the chicken. Stir fry the chicken for about 8-10 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and chicken pieces are golden. Add the teriyaki sauce to the chicken and toss to combine. Cook for 1 more minute. Remove from heat.
Serve teriyaki chicken over steamed white rice and top with chopped green onion. Enjoy!!
