Steps
- Prepare two portions of frozen cooked rice 200g each, and heat them in a microwave for approximately 5 minutes and 30 seconds.
- Divide chicken breast 300g into two halves, remove the skin (optional), and slice each half into bite-sized pieces about 1cm thick.
- Sprinkle each half of the chicken breast with 1 pinch of salt and black pepper to taste, then coat thoroughly with 2 tsp potato starch and rub in well. [Chef's Tip!] Coating with potato starch helps the chicken breast become tender.
- Heat scant 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan, add one half of the prepared chicken breast, and cook over medium heat until both sides are crispy.
- Once the chicken is cooked, turn off the heat and wipe off any excess oil from the pan. Add generous 1 tbsp mayonnaise, 1 tsp ketchup, 2 pinches sugar, and 2 pinches chicken stock powder, then toss everything together with the residual heat. [Chef's Tip!] Tossing with seasonings after turning off the heat prevents the flavor from becoming too strong and prevents separation.
- Serve the warm rice in a bento box and generously top with the Chicken Mayo.
- Lightly wipe the same frying pan, then stir-fry frozen spinach 50g without adding oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the stir-fried spinach next to the Chicken Mayo rice to complete the Chicken Mayo Bento.
- Wash the frying pan, then heat scant 1 tbsp oil again, and cook the remaining prepared chicken breast until crispy.
- Once the chicken is cooked, wipe off any excess oil. Add 1 tbsp Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine), 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp ketchup, 3 shakes MSG(Ajinomoto) (MSG), and 2/3 tsp sugar, then toss everything together thoroughly. [Chef's Tip!] Adding ketchup provides a sweet and sour, fruity flavor that pairs perfectly with rice.
- Place the Teriyaki Chicken on top of the warm rice.
- Wash the frying pan, then heat 1 tsp oil. Whisk 1 egg, season with salt and pepper to taste, and cook like scrambled eggs, ensuring it's thoroughly cooked.
- Place the cooked egg next to the Teriyaki Chicken to complete the Chicken Teriyaki Bento.
