Print Recipe

A delicious and easy one-pan meal featuring tender chicken thighs, vibrant vegetables, and day-old jasmine rice tossed in a savory teriyaki sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably day-old)
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, diced
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, and corn)
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add diced chicken thighs, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Add minced garlic and ginger, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Toss in the mixed vegetables and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender.
  5. Add the cooked rice, breaking up any clumps. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the mixture and stir to coat. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the rice is slightly crispy.
  6. Push the rice to one side of the skillet and pour the beaten eggs into the empty space. Scramble until cooked, then fold them into the rice mixture.
  7. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or extra sauce. Stir in green onions.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

  • Day-old rice is essential to prevent the dish from becoming mushy.
  • If using fresh rice, spread it on a baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Chicken thighs are recommended over breasts for a juicier texture.
  • Ensure the skillet is very hot before adding rice to achieve a 'fried' texture.
