Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Peel and mince or grate garlic. Peel and mince or grate half the ginger (all for 4 servings). Cut broccoli florets into bite-size pieces if necessary.
• Pat chicken* dry with paper towels. • In a large bowl, whisk together ponzu, vinegar, cornstarch, and 1 TBSP sweet soy glaze (2 TBSP for 4 servings). (You’ll use the rest of the sweet soy glaze later.) Add chicken, garlic, and minced ginger; stir until chicken is thoroughly coated. • Set aside to marinate.
In a small pot, combine rice, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4 servings), and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
• While rice cooks, heat a large, dry pan over medium-high heat. Add broccoli and 2 TBSP water; cover and steam until bright green, 4-5 minutes. • Uncover and add a large drizzle of oil, a pinch of sesame seeds (save the rest for serving), salt, and pepper. Cook, uncovered, until broccoli is tender and lightly charred and sesame seeds are toasted, 2-4 minutes more. • Turn off heat; transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. Wash out pan.
• Drain chicken, discarding marinade. • Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for broccoli over medium-high heat. Once hot, add chicken in a single layer. Cook until deeply browned on one side, 2-3 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring, until chicken is browned all over and cooked through, 2-3 minutes. • Add miso sauce concentrate and remaining sweet soy glaze; cook until sauce has thickened and chicken is coated, 2-3 minutes more. Remove pan from heat.
• Fluff rice with a fork and season with salt and pepper. • Divide rice between plates or bowls. Top rice with broccoli, chicken, and any remaining sauce from pan. (TIP: If needed, rewarm broccoli in the microwave for 30 seconds.) Sprinkle with a pinch of remaining sesame seeds and serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
The miso paste made the dish taste fishy/fermented, rather than what you would expect from a chicken teriyaki stir fry dish. Leaving out that ingredient would have made this a much tastier meal. And definitely keep suggesting that people toast the sesame seeds...it makes for much better flavor.
Broccoli was very fresh (last time I had it in a recipe, it was brown upon arrival). A big improvement! Steaming it was a great change instead of roasting. The Teriyaki flavored chicken was just a little off. It was okay, but I have had better teriyaki.
This dish kind of missed the mark for us. The broccoli was surprisingly flavorful for steamed broccoli. The chicken was fine, but adding the cornstarch to the teriyaki sauce made it gummy and paste-like. If I got this meal again from HelloFresh, I would definitely omit the cornstarch.
This was just ok and we probably won't order it again. Too strong of soy sauce flavor, didn't taste enough like multi-level flavor of teriyaki. Rice was plain (some ginger or scallions or something added would be better. Liked the broccoli but needed more vegetables - perhaps also carrot ribbons and zucchini or peppers.
Delish!! The only thing I'd say is that the rice would've been very boring if I didn't tweak it. Since we had extra ginger, I put some butter, ginger and sesame seeds in the pot for a minute or two before adding the rice and water. I think without this tweak, the rice would have been a bit bland. But, the sauce for the chicken and the broccoli were spot on, this meal was a hit!
Yummy, yummy! I'm not a fan of teriyaki but I thoroughly enjoyed this. The steamed broccoli was a great touch.
Easy to make and good, filling too. I do wish the chicken would have came so I cut it myself, it was basically shredded teriyaki.
Probably the best teriyaki flavor I've cooked up. Close line between glazed and burned in a wok tho
Chicken teriyaki is one of my favorite take out dishes and I loved that it came with broccoli. The recipe, though, had some questionable requirements that could have been bypassed and steaming the broccoli is the top of that list.
One of our favorites!! So simple and quick to make. Teriyaki was awesome.
