Postup

Mix together the ingredients for the sauce + marinade (garlic, ginger, water, soy sauce, and brown sugar); reserve 1 cup for the teriyaki sauce and pour the rest in a bowl with the chicken; stir to coat the chicken evenly, cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 mins (up to 2 hours)

Rinse the rice until the water runs clear, and drain using a fine mesh sieve. Transfer into a small pot and add the water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 15 mins. Remove from the heat and keep covered for 10 mins. Fluff with a fork and keep covered until ready to serve.

Preheat a pan (cast iron if you have it) over medium high and add 1 Tbsp oil, drip excess marinade off chicken and sear 5-6 mins per side (10-12 mins total) until chicken is charred and internal temp reaches 165F; transfer the chicken to a plate and let rest

In a separate small pot over medium heat, cook the remaining teriyaki sauce mixture for 1-2 mins until warm; mix 1 Tbsp cornstarch with 1 Tbsp water and whisk it into the sauce (this will thicken it); cook until the sauce bubbles and thickens (1-2 min) then turn off the heat and stir in the white vinegar

Add the chicken (along with any juices that have dripped onto the plate) to the pot with the sauce and toss to coat

Sprinkle a little salt on the broccoli and place it in a microwave safe bowl with 2 Tbsp water; cover and microwave 2-4 mins until bright green and tender

Slice the chicken and serve over warm rice with broccoli and teriyaki sauce drizzled on top - enjoy!
