Dish Name: Teriyaki Chicken Rice
Ingredients Required: 2 Chicken Legs, 1/2 Red Bell Pepper, 1/2 Yellow Bell Pepper, 2 Tablespoons of (Shaoxing Wine), 1 Tablespoon of Soy Sauce, 1 Tablespoon of Oyster Sauce, 1/2 Teaspoon of Old Monk Soy Sauce, 1 Tablespoon of Honey, 1/2 Teaspoon of White Pepper, 4 Seasonal Vegetables
Cooking Process:
1Clean 2 Chicken Legs thoroughly, then place them on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, partially slice through the skin of each leg, and remove the chicken bones.
2Place the sliced chicken in a bowl and pour in 2 Tablespoons of (Shaoxing Wine), along with 2 Tablespoons of White Pepper, pre-cut (Green Onions) and (Ginger Slices). Mix thoroughly with your hands. 'Massaging' the chicken for a few minutes will make it more tender and flavorful.
3Prepare a small bowl. Add 2 Tablespoons of Soy Sauce, 1 Tablespoon of Oyster Sauce, 1 Tablespoon of Honey, and 1/2 Teaspoon of Old Monk Soy Sauce. Mix well.
Today’s seasonal vegetables include onions, celery, and bell peppers. Wash them thoroughly and slice the celery into pieces, dice the onions, and slice the yellow and red bell peppers.
4Heat a wok with oil, then add the celery and stir-fry until slightly softened. Add diced onions and continue to stir-fry. Season with salt and black pepper and stir-fry evenly.
5Pre-cook the rice using a rice cooker.
6Prepare the wok to sear the chicken. First, place the side with the skin facing down in the hot wok and sear until golden brown. Then, flip and sear the other side.
7Continue to sear the chicken until both sides are golden brown.
8When both sides are nicely browned, pour in the prepared sauce and bring to a boil. Cover the wok with a lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir constantly to ensure the chicken cooks through.
9When the sauce thickens significantly and reduces considerably, turn off the heat. Remove the chicken and cut the meat into bite-sized pieces with a kitchen shears.
10Place the cooked chicken pieces on top of the pre-cooked rice. Finally, drizzle generously with the remaining sauce.
A delicious Teriyaki Chicken Rice is ready! The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and paired with a variety of vegetables, it’s a complete and healthy meal – perfect for a nutritious and delicious experience.
Cooking Tips:
1Choose seasonal vegetables according to your preferences. If using carrots or broccoli, you can blanch them directly in boiling water, season with salt and sesame oil, and stir until well combined.
2Make sure to marinate the chicken beforehand for extra flavor and tenderness.
3When simmering the chicken, especially towards the end, continuously stir to prevent sticking and burning.
