Our Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowl is our most popular recipe on the blog for a very good reason. It’s simple to make, tastes delicious, and is so much better than your favorite Japanese takeout restaurant.

Homemade teriyaki chicken is a very simple stir-fry recipe that will be perfect to add to your dinner rotation. It’s easy enough to make on any weeknight, taking less than 30 minutes from start to finish.

My favorite part about this teriyaki chicken bowl is the homemade teriyaki sauce. It includes simple ingredients such as rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, and ground ginger. If you like a little spice to your teriyaki sauce, feel free to add some crushed red pepper flakes. Once you make this homemade teriyaki sauce, you will never buy it store-bought again. It’s that good!!

I love to make extra teriyaki sauce and serve it over grilled salmon or tender beef for dinner later in the week. It’s so versatile and tastes great on a variety of different proteins.

Chicken Teriyaki Rice Bowl Recipe

Mi Zhi (蜜汁) means honey glaze. Jipa (鸡扒) means chicken steak. We normally use the chicken leg for this dish, and once it is deboned, it becomes a big, thick slab; that’s why we call it chicken steak. Fan (饭) is rice because this dish is often served on top of white rice; that’s how it got the name. You can look at it as our version of teriyaki chicken, the only difference is that we use honey as a sweetener instead of mirin. The recipe is super easy.
