Steps

1

Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces as you like. In a bowl, mix together the sugar, soy sauce, and sake.
2

Heat the oil in a small frying pan with a lid over medium heat. Place the chicken skin-side down and cook. To keep the sauce from getting too oily, blot any excess fat with a paper towel.
3

Once the skin is crispy, pour in the sauce mixture from step 1. Quickly cover with the lid. Be careful, as it may splatter!
4

When the splattering stops, remove the lid and simmer, swirling the pan in a circular motion, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
5

Serve over rice, sprinkle with crumbled nori, add the chicken, pour over the sauce, and top with green onions or shredded white part of green onion.
6

If you’re not using it for lunchboxes the next day, freeze any leftovers! If you make a batch and freeze it, you can still have a teriyaki chicken rice bowl even if you oversleep.

It’s also delicious if you cut the chicken into larger pieces!
