This teriyaki bento features delicious sweet and savory sauce that soaks into the rice. Adding a little vinegar makes it lighter and easier to eat, and it also helps preserve the food.

*You can also make it delicious with just soy sauce, sake, mirin, and sugar. See Recipe ID:18918995.

  12. as neededAll-purpose flour,
  13. as neededWhite sesame seeds,
  14. Shichimi togarashi (Japanese seven spice), as needed

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Lay the chicken thigh flat. If there are thick parts, butterfly them so the meat is an even thickness. Make shallow cuts in the thickest areas. Lightly dust both sides with all-purpose flour using a fine strainer.

  2. 2

    Beat the egg with sugar and a pinch of salt, then cook in a pan to make scrambled eggs. Remove the edamame from their pods if needed.

  3. 3

    Heat a frying pan and add a little oil. Place the chicken skin-side down over high heat and cook until browned. Reduce to medium heat and cook for about 3 more minutes.

  4. 4

    Flip the chicken and cook the other side. Lower the heat, add water, cover, and steam until cooked through. Once done, add the soy sauce, mirin, and sugar mixture. Increase to high heat and cook until the sauce thickens and glazes the chicken.

  5. 5

    Pack the cooked rice into a bento box and drizzle with some sauce. Top with scrambled egg and sliced teriyaki chicken, then drizzle with more sauce. Sprinkle with shichimi togarashi and white sesame seeds. Fill any gaps with edamame.

  6. 6

    You can also make this with bell peppers or shishito peppers for variety.

  7. 7

    It’s fine to cut the chicken into 8 pieces before cooking if you prefer.

  8. 8

    You can also use green beans instead of edamame.
