Method
Rinse the rice, cover with 140 ml water, add 1 g salt, and cook covered for 12–15 minutes until tender and the water is absorbed.
Cut the chicken1 into pieces, toss with the teriyaki sauce, and let sit for 5 minutes.
Separate the broccoli into florets and cut the carrot5 into thin matchsticks. Boil the vegetables for 3–4 minutes until bright and lightly crisp.
Heat the oil in a skillet and fry the chicken1 for 7–9 minutes, stirring, until browned and the juices run clear.
Spoon the rice into a bowl as the base, then arrange the chicken1, broccoli, and carrot5 alongside in sections.
Drizzle with the remaining sauce from the skillet and sprinkle with green6 onion and sesame seeds.
Tips
- Why it works
- Marinate the chicken for 5 minutes in the teriyaki sauce so the meat soaks it up and doesn't dry out when frying. If you skip this, it will be dry and bland.
- Substitutions
- Replace the teriyaki sauce with 35 ml soy sauce plus 1 tsp honey. You can cut the carrot into cubes if you don't want to bother with strips.
- Common mistakes
- If the broccoli cooks longer than 4 minutes, it turns soft and loses its bright color. Check it after 3 minutes.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep in the fridge for 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 2 minutes with a lid, adding 1 tbsp of water.
- Serve with
- Serve with a lemon wedge for acidity or a slice of cucumber for freshness.
