Ingredients

Scale

 

  • Chicken: 500g boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs (cubed)
  • Teriyaki Sauce:
    • ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
    • 3 tbsp brown sugar or honey (alternatives: agave syrup, maple syrup)
    • ¼ cup rice vinegar
    • 1 tsp sesame oil
    • 1 tsp ground ginger
    • 1 tbsp cornstarch (for thickening)
    • ½ cup water
  • Vegetables:
    • 1 cup chopped broccoli
    • 1 cup sliced carrots
    • ½ cup snap peas (or substitute with bell peppers, zucchini)
  • Base:
    • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice (or quinoa for a healthier option)
  • Garnishes: Sesame seeds and chopped green onions

Optional Substitutions:

  • Use tofu instead of chicken for a vegetarian version.
  • Gluten-free soy sauce is perfect for gluten sensitivity.

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil and cubed chicken pieces. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
  2. Make the Teriyaki Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, water, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and cornstarch until smooth.
  3. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Pour the sauce into the skillet with the chicken. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  4. Cook the Vegetables: In a separate pan, steam or sauté the broccoli, carrots, and snap peas for about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Serve: Place a generous scoop of rice into each bowl, add the teriyaki chicken on top, and layer the vegetables on the side.
  6. Garnish: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for a finishing touch.

Equipment

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh vegetables and high-quality chicken will make the dish stand out.
  • Control the Sweetness: Adjust the amount of honey or brown sugar in the sauce to your preference.
  • Thickness of Sauce: If the sauce is too thin, add a little more cornstarch mixed with water.
  • Swap the Rice: For a low-carb option, use cauliflower rice instead.
