Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Marinade:

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons sake (or dry sherry)

2 tablespoons mirin (or honey)

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 teaspoon grated ginger

1 teaspoon minced garlic

For the Rice:

1 cup jasmine rice

2 cups water

Pinch of salt

For Toppings:

1 green onion, finely sliced

1 sesame seeds, toasted (optional)

Steamed broccoli or other vegetables (optional)

Nori sheets, shredded (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sake, mirin, brown sugar, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add the chicken pieces and ensure they are well coated. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for best flavor.

    Cook the Rice: Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine the rinsed rice, water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for another 10 minutes.

      Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the marinated chicken along with the marinade. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a splash of water to reach the desired consistency.

        Assemble the Bowl: Fluff the cooked jasmine rice with a fork and scoop a generous portion into each serving bowl. Top the rice with the teriyaki chicken and drizzle with any remaining sauce from the skillet.

          Add Garnishes: Sprinkle sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and if desired, add steamed broccoli or other veggies. You can also sprinkle some shredded nori on top for extra flavor and presentation.

            Serve: Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Teriyaki Chicken Delight Bowl!
