Teriyaki Glazed Chicken with Stir-Fried Snow Peas and Brown Rice
Tips for Experienced Cooks
Consider adding a splash of mirin or sake to your sauce for an added depth of flavor. Also, play around with the vegetables! Try adding mushrooms, baby corn, or bamboo shoots to make it your own. To achieve an even more authentic stir-fry taste, use a wok and high heat, ensuring you constantly move the food around to avoid burning.
Step 1: Cook the Brown Rice
Bring 3 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the brown rice, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 25-30 minutes until rice is tender.
- 1.5 cups uncooked brown rice
- 3 cups water
Step 2: Prepare the Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and cornstarch until well combined.
- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Step 3: Stir-Fry the Vegetables
Heat 1 teaspoon of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the snow peas, bell pepper, green onions, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 12 ounces snow peas (trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces)
- 1 red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
- 3 green onions (sliced, including green parts)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger (peeled and grated)
Step 4: Cook the Chicken
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch pieces)
Step 5: Finish the Dish
Add the prepared sauce to the skillet with the chicken and vegetables. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce has thickened.
