Ingredients

For the Rice:

  • 2 cups uncooked white rice
  • 4 cups water
  • 1/2 tsp salt

For the Teriyaki Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup tamari sauce (or soy sauce if you are not gluten-free)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger (minced)
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp water

For the Stir-Fry:

  • 1-2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 cup medium onion (sliced (about 1/2 medium onion))
  • 1 cup bell peppers (of any color, sliced (about 2 bell peppers))
  • 1 cup broccoli (cut into florets (about 1 head of broccoli))
  • 1/2 cup sugar snap peas
  • 2 lbs chicken thighs (cut into 1 inch pieces)
  • 2 tbsp sliced fresh green onion (for topping)

Instructions

  • In a medium pot, bring water, salt and rice to a boil. Once boiling, cover the pot with a lid and reduce to low and allow to simmer. Cook 15-20 minutes, until water is evaporated and rice is tender. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
  • While the rice is cooking, make the teriyaki sauce. In a small pot, combine tamari sauce, water, honey, ginger and garlic. Cook over medium heat for 3-5 minutes. Meanwhile, combine cornstarch with two tablespoons of water in a small bowl and whisk until there are no lumps from the cornstarch. Stir the cornstarch mixture into the pot with the tamari. Whisk to combine. Heat until the sauce thickens.
  • To make the stir-fry, heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add one tablespoon of the oil.
  • Add onions, bell peppers, broccoli and snap peas. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until vegetables are slightly browned and tender. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside on a large plate or bowl.
  • Add another tablespoon of oil to the pan. Add chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes, until chicken is browned and cooked through.
  • Add back the vegetables and stir in the teriyaki sauce.
  • Serve with cooked rice and top with green onions.
