Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowl (Soy-Free)
A classic Japanese rice bowl with teriyaki chicken made without soy sauce, using coconut aminos for a similar flavor profile. Quick, easy, and delicious!
Ingredients
- about 680 g Chicken thighs
- 1/4 cup Coconut aminos
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tsp Ginger
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 1 tbsp Arrowroot starch
- 2 tbsp Water
- 4 cups Cooked white rice
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 1 tsp Sesame seeds
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Cut the about 680 g chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces, about 2.54 cm cubes.
- 2In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup coconut aminos, 2 tbsp honey, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tsp grated ginger, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tsp sesame oil until well combined.
- 3In a small bowl, whisk together the 1 tbsp arrowroot starch and 2 tbsp water until smooth, creating a slurry.
- 4Heat a 30.48 cm skillet over medium-high heat to 190°C. Add the cut chicken pieces and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through to an internal temperature of 74°C.
- 5Pour the coconut aminos mixture into the skillet with the chicken. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- 6Give the arrowroot slurry a quick whisk, then pour it into the simmering sauce while stirring constantly. Continue to stir for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
- 7Serve the teriyaki chicken mixture immediately over 4 cups of cooked white rice. Garnish with 2 sliced green onions and 1 tsp sesame seeds.
