Equipment and preparation 🔧

What you need:

Thermomix
Knife and cutting board
Marinating bowl
Spatula

Previous preparation (mise en place): Wash and dry the lettuce leaves, peel and chop garlic and ginger, cut optional vegetables. Marinating the chicken for 10–15 minutes allows it to absorb more flavor. Having everything ready will make cooking more fluid and enjoyable 🍴.

Detailed step-by-step instructions 👩‍🍳

1 Cut the chicken into strips or small cubes and place in a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon soy sauce and marinate for 10–15 minutes.

2 Prepare the teriyaki sauce: place the garlic and ginger in the Thermomix glass and chop 5 sec / speed 7.

3 Add oil and sauté 3 min / 120 °C / speed 1.

4 Add honey, 1 tablespoon of soy, cornstarch and water. Program 5 min / 100 °C / speed 2. Reserve.

5 Without washing the glass, add the marinated chicken and cook 7–8 min / 100 °C / reverse rotation / spoon speed.

6 Add the reserved teriyaki sauce and mix 2 min / 100 °C / reverse rotation / spoon speed.

7 Wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Place chicken strips with sauce and optional vegetables inside. Sprinkle sesame seeds.

8 Roll each leaf like a small burrito and serve immediately. Add sriracha mayonnaise if you want a creamy and spicy touch.
