I'm quite a fan of Asian food, so I made this dish. I didn't follow any recipes, so any recommendations are welcome!
Ingredients:
- basmati rice
- leek
- chicken
- teriyaki sauce
- soy sauce
- rice or apple vinegar
- sugar (to counter the acidity a bit)
- salt and pepper (for the rice)
It was delicious for me! I'm open to listen any opinions/suggestions :D!

everything is fine except for the basmati rice
Soy sauce and additional sugar will already be in the teriyaki sauce, so it’s a bit redundant.
Something to try for next time: All you need for legit teriyaki is your chicken (IMO boneless, skin-on thigh is the best), and a mix of roughly equal parts soy sauce, mirin, and sake. Maybe a dash of sugar if the mirin doesn’t sweeten it enough for your taste. Anything above and beyond that is optional; like some grated ginger or garlic or a few drops of sesame oil or what have you.
No need to marinate the chicken or anything like that in advance. You can cook it in a pan on its own to like ~70% doneness, then add your sauce, and baste with a spoon while it reduces down to a thick consistency.
Rice I think is ideally served plain and is a balance point to the rich savory sweetness of the teriyaki chicken.
That dish looks really delicious.
