Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup (200g) jasmine rice
  • 2 cups (480ml) water
  • 1 cup (150g) broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) mirin
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water
  • Optional: 1/2 cup (75g) sugar snap peas
  • Optional: 1/4 cup (30g) sliced green onions
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • Optional: 1 avocado, sliced

Instructions

  1. Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until clear. Drain and set aside.
  2. Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a saucepan. Add rice, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 10 minutes.
  3. Cut chicken thighs into 1-inch cubes.
  4. Whisk together soy sauce, mirin, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger in a bowl.
  5. Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until golden and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
  6. Add broccoli and red bell pepper. Stir occasionally and cook 4-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  7. Pour teriyaki sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir to coat.
  8. Add cornstarch slurry and stir until sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
  9. Remove from heat and drizzle with remaining sesame oil.
  10. Fluff rice with fork and divide into bowls. Top with chicken and veggie mix.
  11. Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, avocado, or sugar snap peas if desired.

Notes

Marinate the chicken in the sauce for 30 minutes beforehand for deeper flavor. Don’t skip rinsing the rice for fluffier texture. Adjust cornstarch for thicker sauce.
