HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, mirin, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the teriyaki sauce.

02

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

03

Add the chicken thigh pieces to the hot skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through.

04

Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce over the cooked chicken. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.

05

Divide the cooked white rice among four serving bowls.

06

Spoon the teriyaki chicken and sauce over the rice in each bowl.

07

Garnish generously with sesame seeds before serving.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in half of the teriyaki sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking. You can also add steamed broccoli or snap peas to the bowl for a complete meal.

Easy Substitutions

Chicken breast can be used instead of thighs, though cooking time may vary. Brown rice or quinoa can replace white rice. For a vegetarian option, use firm tofu or tempeh.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover teriyaki chicken and rice in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop.
