Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Plant-based chicken pieces
- 2 cups Cooked jasmine rice
- 1 cup Broccoli florets
- 1 cup Carrots (julienned)
- 1 cup Snap peas
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce (or gluten-free tamari if desired)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (minced)
- 2 stalks Green onions (sliced)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil (or sesame oil for extra flavor)
Instructions
Cook the jasmine rice according to package instructions and set it aside, keeping it warm.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and minced ginger to create the teriyaki sauce base.
In a separate small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add this to the teriyaki sauce base and stir well.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add vegetable oil. Once hot, add the plant-based chicken pieces and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly browned. Remove the plant-based chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add broccoli, carrots, and snap peas. Stir-fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
Add the cooked plant-based chicken back into the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce over everything and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the ingredients.
To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked jasmine rice between two bowls. Top with the teriyaki plant-based chicken and vegetable mixture.
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy!
