My favorite way to enjoy this teriyaki chicken is to top it on brown rice and steamed broccoli. There are vast variations and combinations you can create with these bowls. Add your favorite vegetables and rice-the possibilities are endless. If you prefer to keep your rice bowl low-carb you can omit the rice.

HOW TO STEAM BROCCOLI PERFECTLY

The best way to cook vegetables is to steam them so the nutrients don’t get cooked out. This is easy and takes less than 10 minutes.

Place 3/4 to 1 inch of water and a pinch of salt in a saucepan with a steamer and bring to a boil (if you don’t have a steamer simply place the broccoli directly in the saucepan).

Add the broccoli florets to the water, cover with a lid and let cook for 6-7 minutes. Once cooked the broccoli will be vibrant green. Place the broccoli in a strainer to cool.

How to steam broccoli: Place 3/4 to 1 inch of water and a pinch of salt in a saucepan with a steamer and bring to a boil (if you don't have a steamer simply place the broccoli directly in the saucepan).

    Hi Kathryn, the recipe instructions call for garlic, not in the ingredients. Should this be the ginger? Also the cornstarch in the ingredients is not mentioned, should this be made into a slurry and used to thicken the sauce? TIA.
