Poke Chicken Teriyaki Bowl with Fresh Vegetables and Sesame Seeds
The Poke Chicken Teriyaki Bowl is a delicious and satisfying variation of the traditional poke, perfect for those who prefer a protein source other than fish. In this version, chicken is marinated in a sweet and flavourful teriyaki sauce, then grilled to perfection and served with an assortment of fresh vegetables, all on a bed of soft rice. The finishing touch of toasted sesame seeds adds a crunchy note and a light nutty aroma, completing a dish that is both nutritious and full of flavour.
Ingredients
- 200 g chicken breast cut into strips
- 150 g of white rice or sushi rice
- 50 g of grated carrots
- 50 g of shelled edamame
- 1 medium cucumber thinly sliced
- 1 ripe avocado sliced
- 1 sliced spring onion
- 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon of nori seaweed cut into strips
- 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh coriander optional
- For Marinating Chicken
- 3 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons of mirin Japanese sweet wine
- 1 tablespoon of brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon of freshly grated ginger
- 1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
- For the Teriyaki Sauce
- 3 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons of mirin
- 1 tablespoon of brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon of corn starch dissolved in a little water
Instructions
- Rice Preparation
- Start by preparing the rice. Rinse 150 g white rice under cold water until the water becomes clear. Cook the rice in a pot with twice its volume in water. Bring to the boil, then lower the heat, cover and cook for about 15-18 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is completely absorbed. Once cooked, let the rice rest covered for 10 minutes before transferring it to a bowl and letting it cool.
- Marinating Chicken
- While the rice is cooking, prepare the marinade for the chicken. In a bowl, mix 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons mirin, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, grated ginger and minced garlic. Add the chicken breast strips to the marinade and mix well to coat each piece. Cover the bowl and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour for a stronger flavour.
- Preparing Teriyaki Sauce
- To prepare the teriyaki sauce, combine 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons mirin, 1 tablespoon brown sugar and 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a small saucepan. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved. Then add the cornstarch dissolved in water and continue stirring until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
- Cooking Chicken
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Drain the chicken from the marinade and cook it in the hot frying pan for 5-7 minutes, turning the chicken strips halfway through cooking, until well cooked and golden brown. Once cooked, remove from the heat and set aside.
- Preparing Vegetables
- While the chicken is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Grate the carrots, slice the cucumber and avocado, slice the spring onion into rounds and thaw the edamame if it is frozen. These fresh ingredients will give your poke bowl a variety of textures and colours that combine harmoniously.
- Assembling the Poke Bowl
- Once all the ingredients are ready, assemble the poke bowl. Spread the cooked and cooled rice in the bottom of a large bowl. On top of the rice, arrange the teriyaki chicken, grated carrots, cucumber, avocado, edamame and spring onion. Arrange each ingredient in separate sections for a visually appealing result.
- Gasket and Service
- To garnish, sprinkle the poke bowl with toasted sesame seeds, nori seaweed strips and fresh coriander, if you like. Finally, drizzle with the prepared teriyaki sauce. Serve immediately to enjoy the freshness and variety of flavours of this dish.
Notes
