How to Make Teriyaki Chicken Rice: A Step-by-Step Guide

Teriyaki chicken rice, a beloved Japanese dish, features tender chicken glazed in a sweet-savory teriyaki sauce, served over fluffy rice. Here’s a simple recipe to recreate it at home.

Ingredients:

- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)

- 1/4 cup soy sauce

- 2 tablespoons mirin (sweet rice wine)

- 1 tablespoon sugar

- 1 teaspoon grated ginger

- 2 cloves minced garlic

- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

- Cooked rice for serving

- Sesame seeds and sliced green onions (garnish)

Steps:

1. Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken dry and cut into 1-inch pieces. Marinate in 2 tablespoons soy sauce, grated ginger, and garlic for 15 minutes.

2. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, mix mirin, sugar, and remaining soy sauce. Heat gently in a pan until sugar dissolves; set aside.

3. Cook the chicken: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken pieces for 5–6 minutes until golden and cooked through.

4. Glaze the chicken: Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken. Simmer for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.

5. Serve: Spoon the glazed chicken over hot rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
