Instructions

Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, water, garlic, and ginger. Set aside.

Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes.

Add the sauce: Pour the sauce over the chicken. Simmer for 2–3 minutes. Stir in cornstarch slurry if a thicker sauce is desired and cook another 1–2 minutes.

Assemble the bowls: Divide cooked rice among four bowls. Top each with teriyaki chicken, steamed broccoli, shredded carrot, and cucumber slices.

Serve: Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions, if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

Protein Swap: Substitute chicken with shrimp, tofu, or beef strips.
Vegetable Variety: Add bell peppers, snap peas, or edamame.
Spicy Kick: Add sriracha or red pepper flakes to the sauce.
Low-Carb Option: Serve over cauliflower rice instead of regular rice.
