- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- kosher salt (2 big pinches)
- pepper (big pinch)
- 1 tbsp oil
Teriyaki Sauce
- â…“ cup soy sauce (low-sodium)
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tbsp honey
- 2 garlic cloves (grated, or 1/2 tsp garlic powder)
- 2 tsp. grated ginger (or 1 tsp ground)
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
Fried Rice
- 1 tbsp butter or oil
- 2 carrots (peeled, and diced)
- 1 small white onion (diced)
- 2 cups frozen sticky rice (or day old white or jasmine rice)
- 1-2 tbsp soy sauce (low-sodium)
- 2 eggs (whisked)
- â…“ cup peas
- 1 tsp ginger (minced)
- 4 green onion (sliced)
Instructions
- Mix teriyaki ingredients together, set aside. Dice chicken, add seasonings. Heat a non-stick pan over high heat. Once hot, add oil, then chicken. Let chicken cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes then mix. Once almost cooked through, add teriyaki sauce, mix, and let cook 2 minutes. Add to bowl. Turn down the heat to medium-high.
- In the same pan, add 1 tbsp oil. Add carrots and onions and sauté until tender (about 5-7 minutes). Add rice and saute until thawed (about 2 minutes). Then add tbsp soy sauce, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, and peas. Sauté 7-9 minutes (make sure you hear a constant fizzle so that rice gets a little crispy, don’t mix too often). You can add more soy sauce if you like a darker fried rice. Create a hole, add egg, break a little, leave for 30 seconds, then mix in with rice.
- Add chicken/teriyaki sauce and green onions. Toss to warm. Plate and enjoy!
