Glazed Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowl for your Obento
- 150 grams to 250 grams Chicken thigh
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 3 tbsp Sake
- 1/2 sheet Nori (dried seaweed sheet)
- 1 pinch Green onions (or the white part of Japanese leek)
- 1 tsp Vegetable oil for sauteing
- Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Combine the ingredients and mix together.
- Heat oil in a small frying pan with a lid, saute the chicken skin side down on medium heat, then flip it over.
- Blot the excess oil with a paper towel to prepare the frying pan for the sauce.
- When the skin becomes crisp, add the sauce from Step 1, then quickly close the lid.
- It will spatter, so be careful!
- When the spattering subsides, remove the lid, agitate the pan in a circular motion while simmering on low heat.
- It's done when the sauce thickens.
- Sprinkle shredded nori seaweed on top of the rice, add the chicken, pour on the sauce, then garnish with minced green onions or the white part of Japanese leek.
- Freeze any leftovers for obentos!
- You can also make a batch and freeze it for stocking, in case you oversleep; that way you can prepare a teriyaki rice bowl obento any time.
- If you cut the chicken into larger chunks, they'll look plump and pretty.
