Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound Chicken Breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • ½ cup Soy Sauce (low-sodium preferred)
  • ¼ cup Honey or Maple Syrup choose according to dietary preferences
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil for added flavor
  • 2 cups Cooked Rice (sushi or jasmine preferred)
Vegetable Toppings
  • to taste Fresh vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, broccoli, carrots) choose your favorites
  • to taste Sesame Seeds for garnish
  • to taste Green Onions, chopped for a fresh finish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Add the chicken pieces, ensuring they are well-coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to your chosen method (stovetop or rice cooker). Set aside once done.
Cooking
  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken, cooking until it's golden brown and cooked through (about 8-10 minutes). Make sure to stir often to avoid burning.
  2. While the chicken is cooking, chop your selected veggies. You can steam them lightly or enjoy them fresh for added crunch.
Assembly
  1. Begin by placing a generous scoop of rice in each bowl, topping it with a serving of teriyaki chicken. Add desired vegetables on top.
  2. Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions over each bowl for a finishing touch. Admire your creation before diving in!

Notes

Substitutions: If chicken isn’t your preference, substitute it with Halal beef or grilled tofu. Ensure thorough marination for maximum flavor. Watch out for overcooking the chicken; it should no longer be pink in the center.
