  • Mixing bowl
  • Pot (for broccoli)
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Measuring cup

Ingredients

  • 400 g jasmine rice
  • 600 ml water
  • 2 chicken breasts (approx. 400 g total)
  • 4 tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp mirin
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1.5 tbsp honey
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp cold water (for the cornstarch)
  • 200 g broccoli
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted
  • 2 spring onions, sliced into rings
  • Neutral oil for cooking

How to make teriyaki rice with grilled chicken?

  1. Cut the chicken breasts into strips about 2 cm wide. In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, honey and garlic. Add the chicken and let marinate for at least 20 minutes.
  2. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Put the rice in the rice cooker with the correct amount of water (follow the 1:1.5 rice-to-water ratio). Turn the rice cooker on and let it do its job.
  3. Heat a grill pan or frying pan over medium-high heat with a splash of oil. Grill the marinated chicken pieces 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Set aside and cover with foil.
  4. Pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan. Add a teaspoon of cornstarch dissolved in a tablespoon of cold water. Warm over low heat and stir until the sauce thickens into a glossy teriyaki sauce. This takes about 2 to 3 minutes.
  5. Cut the broccoli into small florets and blanch them for 3 minutes in boiling salted water. Rinse with cold water so they stay a nice green.
  6. Divide the rice between deep bowls or plates. Place the grilled chicken on top and drizzle the teriyaki sauce generously over it. Add the broccoli and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and a few rings of spring onion. Serve immediately.

This recipe is also perfect for meal prep. Make a large batch of rice and store the components separately in the fridge. That way you have a tasty lunch or dinner ready in a few minutes the next day. The teriyaki sauce can be kept for up to three days in a sealed jar.

Want to vary it? Replace the chicken with salmon, tofu or shrimp. The teriyaki sauce goes with almost anything. Add a splash of sesame oil to the sauce for extra depth, or serve with pickled ginger for a fresh counterpoint. Enjoy.
