Cooking Instructions
- 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
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
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
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
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
You can also make this with bell peppers or shishito peppers for variety.
- 7
It’s fine to cut the chicken into 8 pieces before cooking if you prefer.

You can also use green beans instead of edamame.

Teriyaki Aburaage for Bento Teriyaki Aburaage for Bento
I usually simmer the aburaage with mentsuyu and mirin to make "aburaage for inari sushi skin," and use it in a bento or as a topping for udon or soba.When mayonnaise is added to a sweet and salty taste, it becomes rich, similar to a McDonald's teriyaki burger!I boldly added mayonnaise into my usual aburaage, and it came out rich and delicious, perfect as a bento filler dish.I used the thick aburaage that I bought for 150 yen per 2 piece. If the aburaage are thin, slightly reduce the seasonings. It's strongly seasoned, so it goes well with rice. It tastes delicious without the mayonnaise as well. (If topping on udon noodles, omit the mayonnaise.) If packing in a bento box, simmer it well. If you remove excess oil from the aburaage, the sauce soaks in easier. Recipe by moj cookpad.japan -
