Instructions
-
Prepare the Chicken Teriyaki:
- Begin by washing and cleaning the chicken breasts thoroughly. Cut them into bite-sized pieces for easy cooking.
- In a bowl, combine the Sprig Ginger Teriyaki Sauce and fresh orange juice. Stir in corn flour to help thicken the sauce as it cooks. Mix well until smooth.
- In a pan, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant, around 1-2 minutes.
- Add the chicken pieces to the pan and cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce mixture over the chicken. Stir to coat the chicken evenly with the sauce. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to thicken the sauce.
- Add the broccoli and stir it in with the chicken. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the broccoli is tender but still crisp. Remove from heat and set aside.
-
Prepare the Fried Rice:
- In a separate pan, heat a little oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and sauté until golden.
- Add the cooked rice, breaking up any clumps. Stir well to combine the garlic with the rice.
- Toss in the spring onion greens, and cook for 2-3 minutes until they soften.
- Season with black pepper and salt to taste. Stir everything together and let it cook for another minute or two to heat the rice through.
-
Assemble the Rice Bowl:
- To assemble the Chicken Teriyaki Rice Bowl, start with a generous serving of the fried rice at the bottom of each bowl.
- Top the rice with the chicken teriyaki and broccoli mixture.
- Garnish with extra spring onion greens if desired for a fresh crunch and pop of color.
