Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups sushi rice
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 chicken breasts diced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons mirin
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds black and white
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Sriracha sauce for drizzling

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Teriyaki Sauce (if homemade):
  • In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey or sugar, mirin (or rice vinegar), water, ginger, and garlic powder.
  • Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Once the sauce starts to bubble, reduce the heat and cook for 5-10 minutes until it thickens slightly. If you'd like a thicker sauce, dissolve cornstarch in a bit of cold water and stir it into the sauce.
  • Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  • Cook the Chicken:
  • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  • In the last 2 minutes of cooking, drizzle the teriyaki sauce over the chicken and allow it to caramelize and coat the chicken.
  • Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
  • Prepare the Avocado and Rice:
  • Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice the avocado into thin strips or cubes.
  • If you haven’t already cooked the rice, prepare it according to the package instructions.
  • Assemble the Stack:
  • On a plate or shallow bowl, start by placing a layer of rice at the bottom.
  • Layer the sliced teriyaki chicken on top of the rice.
  • Arrange the avocado slices on top of the chicken.
  • Garnish and Serve:
  • Drizzle extra teriyaki sauce over the stack if desired.
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for added flavor and texture.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!
