Method
Cook the rice
Rinse the rice several times until the water is almost clear. Cook with the stated amount of water in a pan with a lid for approx. 10–12 min over a low heat. Leave to rest for 10 min, mix in the rice vinegar, sugar and salt and leave to cool in the fridge.
Prepare the vegetables
Cut the cucumber and carrot into fine julienne. Cook the edamame for a few minutes and drain. Drain the sweetcorn.
Marinate the chicken
Cut the chicken into cubes or strips. Mix with the finely chopped garlic and grated ginger, cover and marinate for approx. 30 min in the fridge.
Teriyaki sauce
Mix the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar and sesame oil. In a separate small bowl, stir the cornflour with the water to a smooth slurry.
Fry the chicken
Heat the sunflower oil over a high heat and fry the chicken golden brown all over to a core temperature of approx. 74 °C. Add the soy mixture and let it bubble briefly. Add the cornflour slurry and stir to a glossy sauce that clings to the chicken.
Assemble and serve
Divide the rice between two bowls. Lay the teriyaki chicken on top and add cucumber, carrot, edamame and sweetcorn. Spoon some extra sauce over the chicken and finish with sesame seeds or spring onion. Serve immediately.
Tips & notes
Delicious as a complete meal or light evening meal. Feel free to marinate the chicken for longer (up to a few hours) for even more flavour. Best fresh; keep leftover components separately in the fridge and eat them within 1 day.
Variations
- Replace the teriyaki chicken with the steak, prawns or crispy chicken from the other poké bowl variants; the rice and vegetable base stays the same.
- Add half an avocado for extra creaminess.
