This looks delicious!

The only thing I would do different is add italian sausage.

Teriyaki Chicken & Rice

 

This is one of those recipes that calls for the cook's judgment in amounts of some of the ingredients.  For example, the chicken.  I would buy a rotisserie chicken and cut up an appropriate amount for the amount of rice you will be making.  

In my opinion, I would not cook everything together.  Cut up rotisserie chicken, make a pot of rice and make the sauce, then assemble all together. 

Just my opinion!  It sounds delicious and I can't wait to make it.

Ingredients:

Pre-cooked Chicken  

Rice

1/4 cup Brown Sugar

1/4 cup Soy Sauce

3 Tbsp of Ketchup

1/4 cup water

Directions:

In a bowl, mix brown sugar, soy sauce, water and ketsup.  Stir until well blended.  Set aside.  

Measure out enough rice to feed your family and measure out the correct amount of liquid for your rice.

  

I should have almost a cup of teriyaki sauce mixed in my bowl.  I will then need approximately 3 more cups of water.  If you want a stronger teriyaki flavor simply increase the amount of sauce you prepare and decrease the extra water accordingly.  

Pour the teriyaki sauce in the rice cooker.  Add the extra water.  

Dice the chicken and dump it in the cooker as well.  Set the cooker to cook and walk away.  Serve when the switch flips from “cook” to “warm”, at least that’s what mine does.  I usually serve it with steamed veggies or mix the veggies right in.  

Super simple and prep time is like ten minutes max.

Classic Fried Rice

 

Another fried rice recipe!

Ingredients

• 2 ½ cups (463 g) day old white rice
• ▢4 tablespoons (56 g) butter, divided
• ▢4 large eggs
• ▢1 medium onion, diced
• ▢1 cup (165 g) frozen corn, thawed
• ▢1 cup (140 g) frozen peas and carrots mix, thawed
• ▢½ cup (118 ml) low sodium soy sauce
• ▢Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

• Reheat your leftover rice in the microwave for 2 minutes to warm it through so it's easy to break up in the wok. Set aside.
• In a wok, melt 1 tablespoon of butter then cook your eggs (break them apart like scrambled eggs). Remove the scrambled eggs from wok and set aside in a bowl.
• Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the wok then add onion, corn, and peas and carrot mix. Cook until onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
• Add the warmed rice and break it up with your spatula, as needed. Keep folding the rice in with the veggies until well-combined.
• Pour the soy sauce over the rice. You might want to do this slowly in case it gets too salty for you and you can reduce the amount you use. I'd pour it in 1 circle around the skillet at a time and then mix it altogether and taste. Use more or less soy sauce as desired.

• Turn off the heat then add the eggs back in and add in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the rice mixture. Stir until it has melted and incorporated into the rice.
