Ingredients
  

Bowl Components
  • 1.5 cups (300g) Jasmine rice Rinsed until clear
  • 2.25 cups (530ml) Water For cooking rice
  • 1 lb (450g) Chicken breast Sliced into thick strips
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) Teriyaki glaze Thick and glossy variety
  • 4-6 rings Pineapple Fresh or canned
  • 1/2 cup (75g) Edamame Shelled and steamed
  • 1 large Carrot Julienned into thin matchsticks
  • 1 tbsp Sesame seeds Toasted black and white mixture
  • 2 stalks Green scallions Finely chopped

Equipment

  • 1 Cast Iron Skillet Essential for getting those dark brown charred marks.
  • 1 Rice cooker or saucepan For steaming the jasmine rice.

Method
 

Prepare the Components
  1. Rinse jasmine rice and combine with water in a pot. Bring to a boil, then simmer covered for 15 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before fluffing.
  2. Sear chicken strips in a hot skillet with oil until dark brown charred grill marks appear, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  3. Add teriyaki glaze to the skillet and toss chicken for 1-2 minutes until coated in a thick, amber-colored sauce.
  4. Grill pineapple rings in the same pan until faint char marks appear and they are caramelized.
Assembly
  1. Layer rice into bowls. Top with glazed chicken, grilled pineapple, edamame, and julienned carrots.
  2. Garnish heavily with toasted black and white sesame seeds and chopped green scallions.

Notes

Pat the chicken dry for the best sear.
Always glaze the chicken during the last 2 minutes to prevent burning.
