Instructions
Rice (Note 3):
- Rinse the rice in the strainer until the water runs clear, then drain well. Place it in the saucepan.2 cups sushi rice/ 400 g
- Cook the rice: Add the measured water and cover with a lid. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce to medium-low. Cook for about 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove from heat and let it stand, covered, for 10 minutes.2 ¼ cups water / 550 ml
- Seasoning: Mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl and warm gently until the sugar is dissolved. Alternatively, place the ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 20 - 30 seconds, then stir until the sugar is dissolved. Fold the seasoning into the rice while it's warm.4 tablespoons rice vinegar + 4 teaspoons white sugar + 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- Season rice: Transfer the rice to a large bowl. Add the seasoning and gently combine with a spatula, taking care not to crush the grains. Let it cool to room temperature.
Turkey:
- Chop vegetables: Dice the onions, carrots, and peppers. Mince the garlic and finely slice the green onions, but keep them separated from the previous vegetables and each other.1 small onion + 1 carrot + 1 red bell pepper + 2 garlic cloves
- Sauté: Heat the oil in the skillet. Add onions, carrots, and peppers and cook, often stirring, for about 5 minutes or until the carrots are softer. Add the minced garlic and stir for another minute.1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Cook turkey: Add ground turkey, stir well, and cook for about 5 minutes or until the ground meat is no longer pink.1 lb ground turkey / 450 g
- Add the sauce and the peas, stir well, and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the green onions.⅓ cup frozen peas / 50 g + 2 green onions
Teriyaki sauce:
- Make the sauce while the ground turkey is cooking. Mix all the sauce ingredients in a bowl and set it aside.⅓ cup water 80 ml + ⅓ cup soy sauce / 80 ml + 1 ½ tablespoons rice vinegar + 1 ½ tablespoons brown sugar + 1 tablespoon honey + 2 garlic cloves + 2 teaspoons ginger + 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Assemble the bowl:
- Divide the rice into four bowls. Top with the ground beef teriyaki and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped herbs.1-2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds + some parsley
Notes
- Vinegar: You can substitute rice vinegar with apple cider vinegar.
- Rice: Sushi rice is perfect for this recipe, but you can assemble the teriyaki turkey bowl with any other rice you like (long-grain rice like Jasmin or Basmati, plain white rice, or brown rice). You can flavor the rice if you wish, but you can also leave it plain.
- Rice cooking time: Sushi rice typically takes about 15 minutes to cook. However, check the packet's instructions and follow them for the best results.
