Follow these easy steps to create your own Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowl:
1. Cook the Rice: Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until it runs clear. In a pot, combine the rice and water or chicken broth. Bring to a boil, reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes. Once done, fluff with a fork.
2. Prepare the Chicken: Season the sliced chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add sesame oil, and once hot, add the chicken. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
3. Make the Teriyaki Sauce: While the chicken is cooking, in a small bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic. Once the chicken is cooked, pour the sauce over it, allowing it to simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes.
4. Cook the Vegetables: In a separate pot, steam or sauté the broccoli, bell pepper, and carrots until tender yet crisp, usually around 5-7 minutes.
5. Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, add a generous scoop of rice. Top with the teriyaki chicken and arrange the vegetables artistically over the bowl.
6. Garnish: Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the top for added flavor and a pop of color.
7. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your homemade Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowl while it’s fresh and warm!
