Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowl
Description
The Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowl includes grilled chicken atop a bed of coconut-flavored long-grain rice mixed with red beans. The rice is cooked with coconut milk, sugar, and water, either in a rice cooker or stovetop, yielding a moist, fragrant base with subtle sweetness.
The Hawaiian teriyaki sauce is prepared by simmering a mix of teriyaki sauce, chili garlic sauce, soy sauce, fresh grated ginger, salt, and brown sugar, then thickened with a cornstarch and water slurry. Optional sriracha adds a touch of heat. This sauce imparts a glossy, flavorful coating to the chicken and vegetables.
Fresh vegetables — carrots, celery, zucchini, and broccoli — are stir-fried until crisp-tender in vegetable oil, providing texture and color contrast. The grilled chicken, either freshly cooked or pre-packaged and reheated, completes the bowl making it a filling, balanced dish.
The bowl serves well as a wholesome lunch or dinner, bringing together savory, sweet, spicy, and fresh elements. Using pre-grilled chicken can save time while maintaining flavor.

Instructions
Hawaiian Coconut Rice and Beans
- Rice Cooker: Combine all ingredients in a rice cooker. Gently stir so the beans and rice are mixed. Cover and cook. Fluff rice with a fork before serving.
- Stove Top: In a saucepan, combine water, sugar, and coconut milk. Stir in beans and rice. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, until rice is tender.
Hawaiian Teriyaki Sauce
- Combine Yoshida's sauce, chili garlic sauce, soy sauce, ginger, salt, and brown sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
- Mix cornstarch and water together in a small bowl.
- Slowly whisk the cornstarch mixture into the simmering sauce. This will thicken the sauce slightly more.
- For a spicier sauce, add 1-2 shakes of sriracha sauce. Simmer for about 1 minute, then let sit until ready to serve.
Stir-Fry Vegetables
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté carrots, celery, zucchini, and broccoli until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes.
Assembly
- To serve, scoop rice and beans into the bottom of each bowl.
- Add vegetables and chicken.
- Serve teriyaki sauce on the side, or evenly drizzle about 3 tablespoons over vegetables.
Notes
- Pre-grilled chicken from stores can be used and reheated by sautéing in a little oil if short on time.
