Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Prepare all aromatics and vegetables by finely mincing 4 slices of fresh ginger and 4 cloves of garlic, keeping them separate, and chop 1 green onion.
- Measure your frozen mixed vegetables, including corn, diced carrot, and edamame or green peas.
- Cut chicken breast or thigh into large dice pieces and marinate in a bowl with soy sauce, mirin, grape juice, brown sugar, cornstarch, baking soda, and oil.
- Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt until well combined and have the cooked rice ready, breaking up large clumps.
Cooking
- Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat with about 1 tablespoon of cooking oil.
- Add the beaten eggs to the hot oil and stir fry quickly until cooked; remove from the pan and set aside.
- If necessary, add more oil to the pan and add the marinated chicken pieces without stirring for about 2 minutes until golden brown.
- Flip the chicken and add half of the minced garlic, stir frying until cooked through, about 3 to 4 more minutes, then remove from pan.
- Make the teriyaki sauce by adding soy sauce, mirin, water, and brown sugar to the hot pan; boil and return cooked chicken to coat in the sauce.
- Add another tablespoon of oil to the pan, then the minced ginger and remaining garlic; stir for about 15 to 20 seconds.
- Add cooked rice to the pan and stir fry vigorously for 2 to 3 minutes; season with salt and add frozen mixed vegetables, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
- Pour any excess teriyaki sauce into the fried rice and mix well with the scrambled eggs and chopped green onion.
Serving
- Transfer to serving plates or bowls, top with glazed teriyaki chicken, and serve immediately.
Notes
This dish provides a balanced mix of protein, whole grains, and vegetables. Using day-old rice prevents mushiness, and cooking components separately enhances texture and flavor.
