Instructions

To begin making the Chicken Teriyaki Rice Bowl, the first step involves washing and cleaning the chicken pieces thoroughly. This ensures that any impurities are removed, resulting in a clean and fresh base for the dish.

For the Chicken Teriyaki:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the bite-sized chicken pieces with the Sprig Ginger Teriyaki Sauce and fresh orange juice. Mix well, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated.
2. Allow the mixture to marinate for at least 20 minutes, or for optimal flavor, refrigerate it for 6 to 8 hours.
3. After marination, heat a griddle pan over medium heat and drizzle a bit of sunflower oil to prevent sticking.
4. Place the marinated chicken pieces on the pan and let them cook for approximately 2 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and fully cooked.
5. Once done, transfer the chicken to a bowl and set aside. Reserve the leftover marinade for later use.

Preparing the Sauce:

1. In a separate bowl, combine the reserved marinade with corn flour and a pinch of salt. Whisk well until the mixture is smooth and well combined. This will help thicken the sauce once cooked.

For the Vegetable Stir-fry:

1. In a flat skillet, heat some sunflower oil over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and sauté until it turns a lovely golden brown, releasing its aromatic essence.
2. Add the spring onion greens and sauté for an additional 30 seconds to bring out their freshness.
3. Pour in the marinated sauce mixture, then add the cooked chicken pieces back into the skillet. Stir well to ensure the chicken is fully coated with the flavorful sauce. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.

For the Fried Rice:

1. In a wok, heat some sunflower oil over medium flame. Add chopped garlic and sauté until it reaches a golden brown hue.
2. Incorporate the cooked rice, spring onion greens, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss the rice vigorously on high flame for about 2-3 minutes until well combined and heated through. Once done, remove from heat and keep aside.

For the Broccoli Stir-fry:

1. In a small pan, heat a bit of sunflower oil over medium flame. Add the broccoli florets, sprinkle with a little salt, and add a splash of water.
2. Cover the pan with a lid and allow the broccoli to steam for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once tender yet crisp, sprinkle some black pepper powder and toss well before setting aside.

Assembling the Bowl:

1. To assemble the Chicken Teriyaki Rice Bowl, place a generous portion of the fried rice at the bottom of each bowl.
2. On one side of the rice, elegantly arrange the succulent teriyaki chicken, allowing its glossy sauce to catch the eye.
3. On the opposite side, nestle the vibrant broccoli, providing a beautiful contrast of colors and flavors.

Serving Suggestion:

Serve the Chicken Teriyaki Rice Bowl hot, accompanied by a refreshing glass of Sangria for a delightful beverage pairing. To complete this meal, consider indulging in a dessert of cold Strawberry Cheesecake Bars, adding a sweet note to your dining experience.
