Recipe FAQs

→ Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?

Absolutely. Chicken thighs remain tender and juicy when cooked, making them a great alternative to breasts in this dish.

→ What rice type works best for this bowl?

Jasmine or sushi rice is ideal for its fluffy texture, which complements the savory glaze and crisp vegetables.

→ How can I make the sauce thicker?

The recipe uses a cornstarch slurry to thicken the teriyaki sauce; slowly add it while simmering until the desired consistency is reached.

→ Are there vegetarian alternatives for this dish?

Yes, tofu can replace chicken, paired with brown sugar instead of honey to keep it plant-based and flavorful.

→ What vegetables can I add for extra color and crunch?

Bell peppers or snap peas are excellent choices to enhance both the visual appeal and texture.
