Steps
1Cook rice according to package directions; set aside.
2In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, vinegar, ginger, and garlic.
3In another small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to make a slurry.
4Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden on edges and cooked through.
5Pour the soy mixture into the skillet and stir to coat the chicken.
6Add the cornstarch slurry and cook 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens and coats the chicken in a glossy layer.
7Divide rice among four bowls. Top with teriyaki chicken and sauce.
