Equipment

  • Rice cooker
  • Frying pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Paper towels

Ingredients

  • 400 g chicken breast
  • 300 g jasmine rice
  • 60 ml soy sauce
  • 60 ml mirin
  • 2 tbsp sake (or dry sherry)
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 3 spring onions
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds

How to make teriyaki chicken with jasmine rice?

  1. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Put the rice in the rice cooker with the correct water ratio (usually 1 part rice to 1.5 parts water). Turn it on and let it do its job.
  2. Mix the soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar and garlic powder in a bowl. Stir well until the sugar has dissolved. This is your teriyaki sauce.
  3. Slice the chicken breasts into pieces about 1.5 cm thick. Pat them dry with paper towels so they brown nicely in the pan.
  4. Heat a splash of sesame oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken slices 3 to 4 minutes per side until they are golden brown and cooked through in the middle.
  5. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken in the pan. Let everything simmer gently for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken well. Stir regularly.
  6. Slice the spring onions into thin rings. Toast the sesame seeds briefly in a dry frying pan until they are light golden.
  7. Spoon the jasmine rice onto plates or into bowls. Place the teriyaki chicken on top and spoon over the remaining sauce. Garnish with spring onion and sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy.

A rice cooker is really one of those kitchen purchases you'll wonder how you ever managed without. Making rice becomes something you just do, without thinking. That way you save time and attention for the rest of the dish, like that delicious teriyaki sauce that goes into the pan.

Want to vary it? Replace the chicken with salmon or firm tofu for a slightly different result. The teriyaki sauce works with almost anything. Serve with some steamed broccoli or sugar snaps for a complete meal that makes everyone at the table happy.
