Widely used in Japanese barbecue dishes, teriyaki's name comes from the Japanese 'teri', meaning 'shine' and 'yaki' meaning fried or grilled. Combined with sambal, which contains herbs and spices such as red chillies, lemongrass and tamarind to give vibrant heat, this super speedy dish is quick and full of flavour.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

1
  • Boil a half-full kettle.
  • Meanwhile, trim the green beans and cut into thirds. Halve the lime (see ingredients).
  • Pour the boiled water into a saucepan with 0.25 tsp salt on high heat. 
  • Boil the rice, 12-13 mins. Once cooked, drain, pop back in the pan and cover.
2
  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat.
  • Once hot, fry the chicken and green beans, 8-10 mins. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat. Cook so it's no longer pink in the middle.
  • Add the coleslaw mix. Stir-fry for 1 min. 
3
  • Add the Indonesian style spice, teriyaki, sambal (add less if you'd prefer things milder), honey and water (see pantry for both) to the pan.
  • Bring to the boil, then simmer, 2-3 mins.
  • Squeeze in the lime juice, then remove from the heat.
4
  • Fluff up the rice. Share between your bowls.
  • Top with the chicken.
  • Sprinkle over the sesame seeds.

Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on Aug 2026
  • Flavour: The teriyaki-sambal combination delivers bold, layered flavours that many find satisfying; some felt the dish leaned a little bland or flat, suggesting the sauce balance is key.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and straightforward to pull together, with minimal prep needed; a handful of cooks found the total time ran longer than expected.
  • Suggestions: Use less sambal paste for a milder result, and consider reducing the water added to the sauce to keep the flavour concentrated. Swapping green beans for alternatives like mangetout, mushrooms, or tender-stem broccoli works well if you prefer a different texture. Adding a squeeze of lime at the end brightens the dish noticeably.
  • Next-day meals: Some found the chicken portion on the smaller side, particularly for larger households; using chicken thighs instead of breast is worth considering for a more substantial result.
  • Spice level: The sambal paste can make this dish quite hot, so families cooking for young children may want to use a small amount or leave it out entirely.
  • Rice and sauce ratio: A few cooks noted too much rice relative to the sauce; cooking slightly less rice and holding back on the water helps keep the dish well-balanced.
