Ingredients

Scale

Teriyaki Chicken

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 80 millilitres soy sauce or tamari
  • 30 millilitres honey or brown sugar
  • 15 millilitres rice vinegar
  • 15 millilitres sesame oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (optional, for thickening sauce)

Rice Base

  • 225 grams cooked jasmine rice or sushi rice
  • 15 millilitres rice vinegar
  • 5 millilitres sesame oil
  • Pinch of salt

Avocado Layer

  • 2 ripe avocados, mashed
  • 15 millilitres lime juice or lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Garnishes

  • Sesame seeds
  • Chopped green onions
  • Pickled ginger (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Teriyaki Sauce: Whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small bowl.
  2. Cook Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook chicken breasts until golden on both sides, about 4 to 5 minutes per side.
  3. Add Sauce and Simmer: Pour teriyaki sauce over the chicken. Simmer over gentle heat for 5 to 10 minutes, turning chicken occasionally until cooked through to 74°C internal temperature. If a thicker sauce is preferred, stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until sauce has thickened.
  4. Slice Chicken: Remove chicken from skillet, allow to rest briefly, then slice into thin strips.
  5. Prepare Rice and Avocado: Toss warm cooked rice with rice vinegar, sesame oil, and a pinch of salt. Set aside to cool slightly. Mash ripe avocados with lime or lemon juice, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  6. Assemble Layers: Using a food ring or by hand, press a 1.5-centimetre layer of seasoned rice into the base. Top with mashed avocado, then layer sliced teriyaki chicken strips above.
  7. Finish and Serve: Gently remove the mold and repeat for additional servings. Finish each stack by sprinkling sesame seeds, chopped green onions, and pickled ginger if desired.
