Method

How to Make Chicken Teriyaki Bowl

Combine soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger, then add chicken and coat thoroughly; refrigerate 30 minutes (up to 2 hours) to soak up bold flavor.
Rinse rice thoroughly, then combine with water in a pot; bring to boil, reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 15–18 minutes until tender and water is absorbed.
Place broccoli florets and carrot slices in a steamer basket over boiling water; steam 4–5 minutes until vibrant green and crisp-tender.
Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat with oil, sear chicken 4–5 minutes per side until golden-brown and cooked through; pour reserved marinade in and simmer 2 minutes to glaze.
Spoon rice into bowls, top with sliced chicken and veggies, drizzle extra sauce from pan, then sprinkle sesame seeds and green onions for color and crunch.
