Yesterday I was asked to make a Teriyaki Chicken and Vege Bowl for dinner
So I checked on the net for a recipe for a Teriyaki Sauce and this was the one I liked best
A lot of them used honey but that is not the favourite sweetener in this house so I used soft brown sugar
The marinade was very simple and it was agreed this recipe was a keeper
For 4 people
You will need
1 1/2 boneless and skinless chicken thighs per person approx more or less depending on the appetite
For the marinade
300 mls hot water
30 grms soft brown sugar
150 mls dark soy sauce
30 gms freshly grated root ginger
6 garlic cloves peeled and crushed
1-2 tsp chilli flakes optional, or adjust to taste
2 cups sushi rice
1 cup frozen edamame beans
1 shallot peeled, finely chopped
French dressing
Red Cabbage
Sesame dressing
To Garnish
Roughly chopped fresh coriander
Sesame seeds
Sesame Dressing This is essential, delicious 
Method
Grate the ginger
Finely chop the garlic with the chilli flakes
Mix hot water and sugar in a bowl
dissolve and let cool a bit
Add soy sauce, ginger, garlic and chilli flakes
Add the chicken thighs to the marinade
Put in the fridge
Marinade as long as you can but if you are short of time it does need about 2 hours
When you are ready to go
Heat the oven to 200C
Remove chicken from the marinade
Place in a lightly oiled roasting pan
I sprayed a little oil on top of the chicken but that is optional
It will take about 25 - 30 mins till the juices run clear when the thickest part is pierced with a skewer
Leave to rest for about 10 minutes
While the chicken is cooking, cook the sushi rice, to the manufacturers instructions
I then brought the remaining marinade to the boil,
Simmered it for about 5 mins
Skimmed off the scum and put aside
This can be used for extra juice on the rice if you wish
Finely chop the shallot and add 2-3 tbs French dressing and let sit while the chicken is cooking
Chop the red cabbage
Cook the Edamame beans and drain
Slice the cooked chicken
Time to serve
Build your bowl
Rice on the bottom
Sliced chicken
The vege
Coriander and sesame seeds
and drizzle over the beautiful Sesame Dressing
Dinner is served
Delicious, colourful and healthy to boot
