Basic Shoyu Sauce, Shoyu Chicken

I recently made some Shoyu chicken, and was told " It was amazing", so I guess I should give you the recipe...

Shoyu:
handful chili peppers
toe size of sliced ginger root
2 cloves garlic
Kikkoman soy sauce
1 pint jar

Shoyu Chicken:
1 frozen chicken breast
1 tsp sugar
2-3 tsp shoyu sauce

In  a pint jar, put a hand full of tiny Chili peppers (really hot ones), one toe size of sliced ginger root, about 2 cloves garlic sliced and then fill the jar with Kikkoman Shoyu, covering everything.  Let this mingle for week or so and then enjoy it...

To make Shoyu chicken:
Oil a frying pan [one you have a lid for] with about 2 tbs oil. Fry one (1) frozen chicken breast seasoned with salt and pepper on both sides on med-low. Then cover for 20 minutes.
Uncover pan turn chicken over and then add 2-3 tsp shoyu sauce from bottle and 1 tsp sugar (aka teriyaki sauce)
Put cover back on, turn your heat down to low for about 5 mins or until sauce bubbles and turn pan off.  

I have electric stove.  I walk away to watch my Korean Drama's or anime episode, then when it's over I check on chicken... lol.....   You can put more sugar if you like syrupy/sweeter.
