Widely used in Japanese barbecue dishes, teriyaki's name comes from the Japanese word 'teri', meaning 'shine', referring to the sauce's glazing quality, and 'yaki' meaning grilled. Teriyaki's salty-sweet flavour makes it the perfect sauce to glaze meat and tofu, as an addition to stir-fries, or in dipping sauces.

Cook the Rice

Fry the Chicken
2

a) While the rice cooks, heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.

b) Once hot, add the diced chicken and stir-fry until browned all over, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.

c) Meanwhile, halve, peel and thinly slice the red onion. Trim the green beans and cut into thirds.

Bring on the Veg

d) Once the veg has softened, add the garlic and stir-fry for 1 min.

Add the Sauce

Finishing Touches
