Magic sauce:
120g (½ cup) soy sauce
60g (5 tbsp) dark brown sugar
15g (1 tbsp) molasses
21g (1 tbsp) honey
30g (2 tbsp) mirin
3g (1 tsp) ginger, grated
3g (1 tsp) cornstarch
Chicken:
8 oz (½lb) chicken breast/thigh, skinless, boneless
1 cup broccoli, cut to bite size pieces
1 cup cabbage, quartered
1 small carrot, peeled and sliced
2 cups rice, cooked
green onion for topping
magic sauce for topping
Magic sauce:
In a small saucepan, mix the soy sauce, sugar, molasses, mirin, water, and ginger.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Slowly whisk the slurry into the saucepan while stirring constantly.
Continue cooking for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens to a glossy, syrupy consistency. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Chicken:
Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces.
Marinate the chicken overnight in magic sauce.
Rinse all the veggies and then toss them on the pan. Cover and let cook for 2-3 minutes. Check on them occasionally. Add a tablespoon of water to the pan for steam until the veggies are to the preferred softness.
Cook the chicken until the internal temperature is 165°F:
Grill or pan-fry the chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side.
Bake at 375°F for 15 min.
In a bowl, place the rice, veggies, and then chicken. Top with the magic sauce and green onions.
