Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cubed)
Grains:
- 1 cup cooked white or brown rice
Vegetables:
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1/2 cup bell peppers (sliced)
- 1/2 cup carrots (julienned)
- 2 green onions (chopped)
Sauce Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
- 2 tablespoons honey (or brown sugar)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
- 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
Garnish:
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Cooking Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Craft a luxurious teriyaki sauce by whisking together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and cornstarch, creating a glossy, flavor-packed condiment.
- Select a spacious skillet and warm vegetable oil over medium heat, then carefully introduce cubed chicken pieces, allowing them to transform into golden-brown morsels of deliciousness.
- Cascade the prepared teriyaki sauce over the sizzling chicken, letting the liquid embrace each piece and reduce into a glistening, thick coating that clings provocatively to the meat.
- Simultaneously, activate a separate cooking surface to stir-fry an ensemble of vibrant vegetables – broccoli florets, crisp bell peppers, and julienned carrots – ensuring they retain their textural integrity and bright colors.
- Construct your culinary canvas by spreading steamed rice as a foundation, then artfully arranging the teriyaki-glazed chicken and rainbow-hued vegetable medley atop the pristine grains.
- Elevate the visual and flavor profile by sprinkling freshly chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds, transforming the dish into a restaurant-worthy presentation ready to tantalize taste buds.
Notes
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to control salt intake and create a healthier version of the dish.
- Swap chicken with tofu or tempeh for a vegetarian-friendly alternative that absorbs teriyaki sauce beautifully.
- Marinate chicken beforehand in teriyaki sauce for deeper flavor penetration and more tender meat.
- Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for those who enjoy a subtle heat kick in their rice bowl.
