Ingredients
For the Chicken:
1 lb boneless chicken thighs, cubed
3 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
For the Bowl:
2 cups cooked brown rice
1 cup edamame, shelled
1 large carrot, julienned
1 cucumber, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
2 cups purple cabbage, shredded
2 green onions, sliced
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 sheet nori, cut into strips
For the Spicy Sriracha Mayo:
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, combine cubed chicken with teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Prepare the sriracha mayo: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, rice vinegar, honey, and sesame oil until smooth. Adjust spice level to taste.
Cook the chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
Prepare vegetables: While chicken cooks, prepare all vegetables: julienne the carrot, slice cucumber and bell pepper, shred cabbage, and slice green onions.
Cook edamame: If using frozen edamame, cook according to package instructions and drain. If fresh, boil for 3-4 minutes until tender.
Warm the rice: Heat the cooked brown rice in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or in a pan with a splash of water.
Assemble the bowls: Divide warm rice between two bowls. Arrange chicken, edamame, carrots, cucumber, bell pepper, and cabbage in separate sections on top of the rice.
Finish and serve: Drizzle with spicy sriracha mayo, sprinkle with sesame seeds, green onions, and nori strips. Serve immediately while chicken is warm.
