Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce

  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tsp water

  • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
  • 2 cups mixed greens (spinach, kale, arugula, etc.)
  • 1/2 cucumber, sliced
  • 1 carrot, shredded
  • 1/2 cup red cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup edamame or snap peas (optional)
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1 tbsp lime juice

Instructions

  1. Whisk soy sauce, brown sugar or honey, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, and a splash of water in a bowl.
  2. Cook sauce in a skillet, stir in cornstarch slurry, and simmer until thickened.
  3. Heat oil in a skillet, sear chicken until golden and cooked through. Add teriyaki sauce and simmer until coated. Slice or chop the chicken.
