Chicken Teriyaki Bowls

Cook the Rice

Combine the rinsed jasmine rice and 3 cups of water in a medium saucepan.

Bring the rice and water to a boil over high heat.

Reduce the heat to the lowest setting and cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid.

Cook for 15 minutes, then remove from heat and let it steam, still covered, for 5 more minutes.

Fluff the cooked rice gently with a fork and set aside.

Make the Teriyaki Sauce

Whisk together the soy sauce, honey, mirin, and rice vinegar in a small bowl.

In a separate small bowl, stir together the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of cold water until smooth.

Pour the cornstarch slurry into the soy sauce mixture and whisk to combine.

Steam the Broccoli

Fill a medium saucepan with about 1 inch of water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Place the broccoli florets in a steamer basket set over the boiling water.

Cover and steam for 4 to 5 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and just tender.

Remove the broccoli from heat and set aside.

Cook the Chicken

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Add the chicken pieces to the skillet in a single layer.

Cook without stirring for 3 to 4 minutes until the undersides are golden brown.

Flip the chicken pieces and cook for another 3 minutes until cooked through.

Push the chicken to the edges of the skillet and add the sesame oil to the center.

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the center of the skillet.

Stir the garlic and ginger constantly for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken and stir everything together.

Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken in a glossy glaze.

Assemble the Bowls

Divide the cooked rice evenly among four bowls.

Arrange the glazed chicken on top of the rice in each bowl.

Add the steamed broccoli florets and shredded carrots alongside the chicken.

Drizzle any remaining teriyaki sauce from the skillet over the bowls.

Garnish each bowl with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
