Teriyaki Chicken Fried Rice

I threw these ingredients together on a whim one night, and it has become a family favorite.  We eat this as the main course, as it is quite filling.  This is an easy recipe to alter to suit your own taste or to utilize whatever ingredients you have on hand.

I recommend using Soy Vay's Veri Veri Teriyaki for this recipe.  It has a superb flavor without corn syrup or other undesirable ingredients

Makes four servings.

1 cup brown rice
Teriyaki sauce
1 1/2 chicken breasts, cut into small pieces
1/2 red bell pepper, finely chopped
1 medium carrot, finely chopped
2 green onions, thinly sliced
2/3 cup frozen green peas
2 eggs, lightly scrambled and cut into small pieces

1.  Place chicken pieces into a small bowl and cover with enough teriyaki sauce to coat all the pieces.  Set in fridge until ready to use.

2.  Combine 1 cup of brown rice with 2 cups water.  Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, for about 40 minutes.

3.  Begin preparing the remaining ingredients while rice is cooking.


4.  About 15 minutes before the rice is done, stir fry the chicken in a little olive oil until cooked through.  Set aside in a bowl.


5.  Add a little more olive oil and stir fry the carrots for about 2 minutes to soften them a little.  Add peas and continue to cook until no longer frozen.


6.  Add bell pepper, egg, onions, rice and chicken and stir fry for a few minutes, adding enough teriyaki sauce to coat everything lightly.


Savor around the table with your favorite people.  It makes it all that more delicious!

I do something similar and yet totally different, i suppose... chicken, coleslaw mix (if I am feeling lazy) and soy sauce. If I am on my game, I will chop up the veggies - carrots, broccoli, onions... and then I cook up some mung bean noodles - my favorite and cheap!

Yummy. I've never thought of that. I'll have to give it a try.
