Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Rinse 1 cup short grain sticky rice under cold water until water runs clear, then combine with 1 1/4 cups water in a pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed and rice is tender.
  2. Step 2: While rice cooks, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp mirin, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp grated fresh ginger, and 2 minced garlic cloves in a bowl to create the teriyaki sauce.
  3. Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into bite-sized pieces and sauté for 5-6 minutes until edges are golden and chicken is cooked through.
  4. Step 4: Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken in the skillet and reduce heat to medium. Cook for 3-4 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the chicken, stirring occasionally.
  5. Step 5: Meanwhile, steam 2 cups broccoli florets and 1 cup shelled edamame in a steamer basket over boiling water for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp and bright green.
  6. Step 6: Divide the sticky rice between 4 bowls, top with the teriyaki chicken, steamed broccoli, and edamame. Garnish with 1 tbsp sesame seeds and 2 sliced green onions for freshness.
