Mareco Teriyaki Stir-Fry

Ingredients

• 12 oz mareco (or chicken breast, sliced thin)
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp mirin(optional)
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp rice vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tsp fresh ginger
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp neutral oil (canola/vegetable)
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 medium bell pepper
• 1 medium carrots
• 1 tsp cornstarch(optional)
• 1 tbsp water(optional)
• 1 cup cooked jasmine rice
• 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

1. 1

   Prep (10 minutes total): Slice the mareco thin. Mince garlic and ginger. Chop broccoli, bell pepper, and carrots into bite-size pieces.

2. 2

   Cook (15 minutes total): In a small bowl, whisk soy sauce, mirin (if using), brown sugar, and rice vinegar. If using cornstarch, whisk it with water and set aside.

3. 3

   Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add neutral oil and sesame oil, then stir-fry mareco until browned and cooked through, about 4–5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

4. 4

   Stir-fry vegetables in the same pan until crisp-tender, about 6–7 minutes.

5. 5

   Return mareco to the pan. Pour in the teriyaki glaze and toss to coat. Simmer 1–2 minutes until glossy; if using cornstarch slurry, add it now and stir until thickened.

6. 6

   Serve over rice and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
