Zesty Teriyaki Chicken Fried Rice

Step by step

Method

  1. 01

    In a bowl, toss diced chicken breast with garlic salt and 2 tbsps corn starch. Set aside.

  2. 02

    In another bowl, whisk together all ingredients for the chicken sauce until smooth.

  3. 03

    Heat a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of oil and cook the chicken until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.

  4. 04

    In the same pan, add a little more oil and scramble the eggs. Remove and set aside.

  5. 05

    Add frozen vegetables to the pan and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp. Add cooked brown rice and stir-fry for another 2 minutes.

  6. 06

    Return cooked chicken and scrambled eggs to the pan. Pour the prepared chicken sauce over everything and toss to coat evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.

  7. 07

    Stir in 2 tbsps soy sauce and 1 tbsp sesame oil. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired.

Useful, not complicated

Gabriela's tips

Small changes that make this recipe easier to fit into real life.

01

Keep it juicy

Cook the chicken or turkey until just done, then let it rest briefly before slicing so the juices stay in the meat.

02

Make the grain ahead

Cook the rice, quinoa or couscous in advance and chill it promptly to make assembly faster on a busy day.

03

Make it your own

Use the vegetables you already have and keep the same cooking method; this recipe is flexible enough for practical substitutions.
