Make The Sauce
Mince ginger and garlic
Add the ginger and garlic in a pan with soy sauce, brown and white sugar bring to a boil, then bring to a simmer.
Simmer for 5 Minutes.
Strain mixture through a colander into a container. Set aside.
In the same pan, toast the sesame seeds for about 2 minutes or until light brown.
Pour the teriyaki mixture back in the pan.
Stir in Pineapple.
In a separate container mix the corn starch and water.
Pour and stir into teriyaki. Let this cook down for 2 minutes.
The teriyaki sauce should now have a nice glaze texture and now we're ready to grill!
Grill The Chicken
Place the chicken on the grill, coat on side in the teriyaki sauce.
Turn about every 2 minutes, coating with the teriyaki sauce until internal temp is 165 F then remove from grill.
Chop chicken into about 1/2 to 1 inch pieces
Cook the sides
Place 1 cup rinsed rice in a rice cooker with 1 cup of water. Should take about 10 minutes.
Place veggies in a steamer. Steam for about 5 -7 minutes.
All Done!
Place 1 cup cooked rice, 1 cup cooked veggies, 1/2 lb chicken in a bowl or plate.
Pour some of that Teriyaki sauce on top, add some green onions if you'd like or even some Sriracha if you want to spice it up and enjoy!
