Ingredients
4
- 1 lb chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup sake (or chicken broth)
- 1/4 cup mirin
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 carrot, thinly sliced
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
1
Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook according to package instructions and set aside.
2
In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, sake, mirin, sugar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger to create the teriyaki sauce.
3
In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the chicken thighs and cook until browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side.
4
Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken and add the broccoli and carrots. Cover and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
5
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
6
Divide the cooked rice into bowls, top with the sliced chicken, vegetables, and drizzle more teriyaki sauce if desired.
7
Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Pro Tips
For best flavor, marinate the chicken in the teriyaki sauce for 30 minutes before cooking.
You can use other vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas for variety.
Troubleshooting
If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of water to thin it.
If the chicken is tough, it may have been overcooked.
Recipe Variations
Swap chicken for tofu for a vegetarian option.
Add pineapple chunks to the stir-fry for a sweet twist.
Healthy Alternatives
For a lighter option, substitute chicken thighs with chicken breast.
Use brown rice instead of jasmine for more fiber.
Serving Suggestions
Pair with a side of edamame for a complete meal.
Serve with pickled ginger to balance the flavors.
