Scale
- 2 cups short grain sushi rice
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Morton kosher salt
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup water
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon grated garlic
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons water
- Pickled red onions
- 1 cup shelled edamame (steamed)
- 1 cup diced fresh pineapple
- 1 Persian cucumber (thinly sliced)
- 1 carrot (peeled into ribbons or thinly sliced)
- Green onion (sliced)
- sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine it with 2 cups of water in a rice cooker or pot. Cook according to package instructions or until tender. Once cooked, let it cool slightly before seasoning with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, water, brown sugar, rice vinegar, grated garlic, grated ginger, toasted sesame oil, and cornstarch. Heat this mixture in a saucepan over medium heat until it thickens slightly.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and cook until browned on both sides and fully cooked through. Once done, pour half of the teriyaki sauce over the chicken. Let it simmer for a few minutes before removing from heat.
- Start by placing a generous scoop of sushi rice at the bottom of each bowl. Top with sliced teriyaki chicken and drizzle additional sauce on top. Add steamed edamame, diced pineapple, cucumber slices, carrot ribbons, pickled red onions, green onion slices, and sprinkle sesame seeds as desired.
