Ingredients
Scale
Sesame Soy Chicken
- 1 batch Sesame Soy Chicken (prepared as per the Sesame Soy Chicken recipe)
Vegetables & Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 3 medium carrots, thinly cut on a bias
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced in half lengthwise and then cut into half moons
- 4–5 ounces sliced baby bella mushrooms
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
For Serving
- Store-bought fried rice
- Yum Yum Sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Prep & Cook Sesame Soy Chicken: Prepare and cook the sesame soy chicken according to the referenced recipe. Once cooked, slice the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces to make them easier to eat in the bowl.
- Sauté Veggies: Heat the butter and toasted sesame oil together in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the carrots, zucchini, and sliced mushrooms. Cook the vegetables while tossing frequently until they become tender and develop a golden brown color, which should take about 10 to 15 minutes. Season the veggies with garlic powder, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper to your preference. Remove the skillet from heat once the vegetables are perfectly sautéed.
- Build the Hibachi Chicken Bowls & Serve: Evenly divide the cooked sesame soy chicken and sautéed veggies among shallow serving bowls. Add an appropriate portion of cooked store-bought fried rice to each bowl. Drizzle with Yum Yum sauce or serve the sauce on the side for dipping. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful hibachi chicken bowls!
