About This Recipe
This recipe is an arranged variation of our Teriyaki Chicken recipe. For the full teriyaki chicken recipe, see Teriyaki Chicken | Juicy & Glazed Japanese Classic Recipe.
A satisfying Japanese rice bowl built around leftover chicken teriyaki. The glossy, sweet-savory chicken pairs naturally with warm rice, and a few simple toppings — egg yolk or a soft-boiled egg, shredded nori, sesame seeds, and green onion — bring the bowl together with both flavor and texture.
The teriyaki sauce that soaks into the rice is part of what makes this so comforting. Optional additions like shiso, a drizzle of mayonnaise, or extra teriyaki sauce let each person adjust to their preference.
A complete meal that comes together in just a few minutes.

Variations
For extra texture and nutrition, add grilled vegetables alongside the chicken — negi (Japanese long onion), shishito peppers, shiitake mushrooms, and similar vegetables work particularly well. A pinch of sansho pepper, yuzu kosho, or shichimi togarashi adds a fragrant, spiced note that complements the teriyaki glaze.
