A delightful fusion of flavors that brings together tender chicken, colorful vegetables, and a touch of umami goodness from the Japanese BBQ sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound chicken breasts (boneless, skinless), diced
  • 2 tablespoons Japanese BBQ sauce
  • 3 cups Japanese short-grain rice (day-old, cooked)
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, freshly grated
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • to taste salt & black pepper (freshly ground)

Instructions

  1. Begin your culinary journey by marinating the diced chicken breasts in 2 tablespoons of Japanese BBQ sauce for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the marinated chicken for about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Add another splash of vegetable oil, crack in the large eggs, and scramble until softly set, about 2 minutes.
  4. Sauté the minced garlic and freshly grated ginger in the same skillet for about 30 seconds, then add the medium onion and mixed vegetables, cooking for an additional 3 to 4 minutes.
  5. Add the day-old cooked rice, drizzle with low-sodium soy sauce and toasted sesame oil, and stir-fry for about 3 to 5 minutes until heated through.
  6. Return the cooked chicken and scrambled eggs to the skillet, add the remaining Japanese BBQ sauce, and sauté for an additional 2 minutes.
  7. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use day-old cooked Japanese short-grain rice for the best texture.
  • Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper before serving to enhance flavors.
  • Feel free to mix in vibrant seasonal vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas.
  • Sauté garlic and ginger first to bloom their flavors.
  • Stir-fry over high heat to achieve flavor smokiness.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
