Can you use teriyaki sauce directly out of the bottle?

Yes, you can use teriyaki sauce that you have bought from the market. If you have teriyaki sauce that you bought from an Asian market or any supermarket then you don’t need to prepare it separately. The taste will be the best in any way!

What is a substitute for rice vinegar in teriyaki sauce?

White vinegar, cider vinegar, or wine vinegar can be used as a substitute for rice vinegar. As rice vinegar is easily available in any Asian market but in case you don’t find it, go for these substitutes.

What can I use instead of brown sugar in teriyaki sauce?

Maple syrup and honey can be used as a substitute for brown sugar. You can also adjust the sweetness by the amount of brown sugar, honey, or maple syrup you are using.

Instructions

Combine the low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, honey, water, chopped spring onion, sliced garlic, and ginger to form teriyaki sauce. Mix them until combined.
Take the chicken breast fillets in a bowl and add some salt and cornstarch to it. Mix it with chicken until it coats nicely well.
Add avocado oil to a pan, add your chicken fillets, and cook it on a medium flame for 5 minutes on both sides until the meat is no longer pink. Sauté the chicken for two to three minutes or until its color changes. The crispiness of the chicken is due to the cornstarch we added.
Now it’s time to prepare chicken teriyaki glaze. Add the teriyaki sauce we prepared to the chicken and turn the heat to medium-low. Cook it until the teriyaki sauce thickens due to the cornstarch on the chicken. Cook it for about 2-3 minutes or until the sauce thickens and it becomes glossy on the chicken. Turn the flame off and the teriyaki chicken is ready.
Stir-fried broccoli, carrots, and other veggies that you like. Boil the rice for serving in bowls.
Assemble the chicken teriyaki bowl. Place the prepared rice in the center and arrange the teriyaki chicken and stir-fried veggies on the top. Top the chicken teriyaki with some sesame seeds and enjoy this healthy chicken teriyaki bowl.

Notes

Marinate the chicken if you are not in a hurry. Marinate for about 10-15 minutes and allow the chicken to absorb the flavors.
The choice of chicken fillets is yours. You can use skinless chicken breasts or chicken thighs. This recipe will be delicious either way.
I recommend you use fresh vegetables like broccoli, carrots, ginger, and garlic for this healthy chicken teriyaki rice bowl.
This recipe’s sweetness can be changed. If you don’t like much sweetness don’t use honey and reduce sthe amounts of honey and brown sugar. I recommend you use salt carefully because the soya sauce and vinegar are already salty. Adjust the amount of salt according to your taste buds.
You can also air-fry your chicken and then cook it in the teriyaki sauce.
Garnish with your favorite toppings like cilantro, white and black sesame seeds, or green onion.
