Cooking Steps
a) Boil a full kettle. While you wait, halve, peel and thinly slice the shallot.
b) Pour the boiled water into a large saucepan with 1/4 tsp salt on high heat.
c) Add the rice and cook for 12-13 mins.
a) While the rice cooks, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.
b) Once hot, add the diced chicken and shallot to the pan and season with salt and pepper.
c) Fry until the chicken is golden brown on the outside and cooked through, 8-10 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
a) Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
b) Trim and halve the green beans.
a) Once the rice is cooked, drain in a sieve and pop back in the pan. Cover with a lid and leave to the side until ready to serve.
b) When the chicken is cooked, add the garlic and green beans to the frying pan.
c) Stir-fry until the green beans are just tender, 4-5 mins.
a) Stir the teriyaki sauce, sambal (add less if you'd prefer things milder), water for the sauce (see pantry for amount) and half the sesame seeds into the pan.
b) Simmer until slightly thickened, 2-3 mins, then remove from the heat. Taste and season if needed.
c) Add a splash more water if you feel it needs it.
a) Fluff up the rice with a fork and share between your bowls.
b) Top with the sambal teriyaki chicken stir-fry.
c) Finish by scattering over the remaining sesame seeds.
Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The sweet-and-spicy teriyaki sambal sauce is a highlight for many, though some find the teriyaki can overpower if used in full. A splash of extra water can help balance the sauce if it tastes too rich or salty.
- Ease of prep: This is a genuinely quick midweek dish that comes together in around 20 minutes, and most find it straightforward to cook.
- Suggestions: Use only half the sambal paste for a milder heat, or reduce the teriyaki sauce slightly if you prefer a less sweet result. Adding extra vegetables such as peppers, broccoli, pak choi, or beansprouts helps bulk out the dish and adds variety.
- Next-day meals: Some find the portion on the smaller side, particularly for three or four people; adding extra vegetables or a little more rice is an easy way to stretch it further.
- Spice level: The sambal paste can be quite fiery, so start with a quarter or half a sachet and build to your preference, especially when cooking for children or those sensitive to heat.
