Weeknight Sesame Teriyaki Chicken with Ginger Rice.
Weeknight Sesame Teriyaki Chicken with Ginger Rice. This is the super-fast Asian chicken and rice bowl that the whole family will love. Quick-cooking chicken, pan-seared, then tossed in a sweet and tangy garlic-ginger soy sauce with stir-fried fresh bell peppers. Serve this teriyaki chicken over steamed ginger rice and top with spicy cucumbers and toasted sesame crumbs. Every bite is saucy, sweet, and tangy. It’s delicious and even pretty healthy too. Major bonus? This is all made in one pan without the use of your oven.
Well, look at that, another chicken and rice bowl, another quick dinner, and you know what? I kind of love it.
This chicken…it is so good. Think, crispy, sweet, and tangy with soy sauce and rice vinegar. And…it’s served with all very delicious ingredients.
I’m talking gingery sesame rice, spicy cucumbers, and even some toasted sesame “crumbs”. And to top it all off, this chicken and rice dinner comes together in a matter of minutes. About twenty-five to be very exact.
Most importantly though…it’s delicious!
OK! And I got the post started. Sometimes writing out the first few sentences of each day’s blog post can be the hardest. I’ve said this before, but words really are not my thing. I love to tell a story through photos, but words on the hand? Well, words I can struggle with. Funny that I’ve now written two cookbooks (and 2495 blog posts). Not sure how that happened, but hey, I guess that just goes to show you that we shouldn’t sell ourselves short.
We can do more than we think!
The process.
Ok, so first up…start with the rice. I made a batch of sesame ginger rice, which is such a great complement to this sweet, tangy chicken. The ginger adds just the right amount of kick…which over here we find really delicious. Let the rice cook while you prepare the rest of the meal.
Now, those sesame crumbs? You need these, so don’t even think about skipping them. They’re simple Panko breadcrumbs, sesame seeds, and spicy chili flakes cooked in a bit of sesame oil. Everything gets toasted up in a skillet until golden and crisp. Finish with a pinch of salt.
These sesame crumbs are addicting, and they make for the perfect extra special finishing touch to this dish.
Now, make the sauce. It’s simply soy sauce, honey, and rice vinegar. A traditional teriyaki is made with Mirin and or rice wine, but it’s easier for me to find rice vinegar, so I just use that. I also ended up swapping the usual brown sugar for honey. This makes the sauce a little healthier and I also love the added flavor.
Now take some of the sauce and toss it with thinly sliced cucumbers. I wanted to add a fresh topping to this teriyaki, so my farmer’s market cucumber was finally put to good use. I then added a nice pinch of chili flakes to the cucumbers to make them spicy. Delish.
Pan-fry the chicken in a little oil until crisp, then add plenty of garlic, ginger, and bell peppers. Next, pour the sauce in and let it simmer down and thicken over the chicken and peppers.
SO GOOD.
Now, put it all together…
Spoon your rice into bowls, then add the chicken and peppers. Finish each bowl off with a good sprinkle of those spicy sesame crumbs and cucumbers.
Enjoy…immediately.
And that’s it…simple, quick, and oh so good. Perfect Asian dinner for any night of the week. We love this one!

Weeknight Sesame Teriyaki Chicken with Ginger Rice
A super-fast Asian chicken and rice bowl that the whole family will love!
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup raw sesame seeds
- crushed red pepper flakes, using to your taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives or green onions
- 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce or tamari
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 cucumbers, thinly sliced
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts, thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons corn starch or flour
- 4 cloves garlic, minced or grated
- black pepper
- 1 inch fresh ginger, grated
- 2 red or orange bell peppers, thinly sliced
- steamed white or brown rice for serving (ginger rice in notes)
Instructions
-
1. To make the sesame crumbs: Heat 1 tablespoon oil, the Panko, sesame seeds, and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until lightly toasted and caramelized, 3-4 minutes. Watch closely. Spoon the crumbs out of the skillet onto a plate. Sprinkle with salt. Set aside.
2. To make the sauce: Combine the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and 1 tablespoon oil.
3. Toss the cucumbers with 1/4 cup of the sauce and a large pinch of red pepper flakes. Let sit.
4. In a medium bowl, toss together the chicken, cornstarch, and a pinch of black pepper.
5. Wipe the skillet clean. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. When the oil shimmers, add the chicken and brown all over, until it becomes crispy, about 5 minutes. Add the bell peppers, garlic, and ginger, cook another 2-3 minutes. Pour in the sauce and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until the sauce coats the chicken, about 5 minutes.
6. Serve the chicken over bowls of rice. Top with sesame crumbs and spicy cucumbers. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Ginger Rice: Combine 2 cups water in a medium pot. Bring to a boil. Add 1 cup basmati rice, 1 inch grated fresh ginger, 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine, cover, then turn the heat down to the lowest setting possible. Allow the rice to cook 10 minutes on low, then turn the heat off completely and let the rice sit, covered for another 15-20 minutes (don't take any peeks inside!). Remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork.

This looks great! Where does the cornstarch come into play? Unless I’m seeing things or missing things I can’t tell where I input it lol
Hey Ashley,
You are using the cornstarch in step 4 to coat the chicken. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
This sounds and looks so yummy! Do you think this could work with tofu instead of chicken? 🙂
Thanks! love your recipes!!
Hey Taylor,
I think tofu would be a great substitute. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Where do the chives go?
Hey Elsie,
You can top the dish with the chives or green onions. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Excellent! Such a great weeknight dinner and it felt like we had take-out. I wasn’t sure about the cucumbers, but used up a little one we had and added julienned carrots—so good and should not be missed. And yes, don’t skip the topping. Such a nice crunch. Amazing flavors, easy, but oh so good. Thank you!
Thank you so much K! I am really glad this turned out so well for you! xTieghan
Just made tonight. I used Ramen noodles instead of rice. Delicious! My husband said to keep this one in the rotation. Love your recipes!
Thank you Sheila!! xTieghan
This was a “homerun” as my dining partner kept saying tonight. Great taste and flavors. Love one pan cooking.
Noting: Subbed zucchini for cucs, pork loin for chicken, and broccoli for peppers (those were all things already on hand). Will try it again soon (probably next week)!
Thank you so much Shannon! I am really glad this turned out so well for you! xTieghan
Where does the breadcrumb/ sesame mixture come into use?
Hey Barb,
I like to top the dish with the sesame crumbs like stated in step 6:) I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
This looks absolutely delicious!!
I’m going to try and make this vegetarian by using tofu or tempeh.
Thanks for the recipe!
Thank you for trying this one! I am really glad this turned out so well for you! xTieghan
It was really yummy! Make sure to make the crispy panko and sesame seeds! The chive/green onions seem to be missing from the directions but I am assuming either they go in the cucumbers or as a topping. We were not the biggest fans of the cucumbers.
Thank you so much Ann! I am really glad this recipe turned out so well for you! xTieghan
What changes should I make if I have mirin? Is it one to one with the rice vinegar or do I need to adjust the honey since it’s a bit sweeter than plain rice vinegar?
Hi Miranda! It’s a one to one ratio. No changes need to be made. Mirin is going to be great! Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe! Thank you!! xTieghan
This looks delicious!! What size skillet are you using?
Hey Karen,
I am using a 12 inch skillet. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
This recipe was a winner at our house! It was so good. The cucumbers and crunchy topping pushed it over the top. Thanks!
Thank you so much Lynda!! I am so happy to hear that! xTieghan
Chives?
Hey Cathy,
You can add those on as a topping:) I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
made it tonight and loved it 🙂 love your recipes !!!
Thank you Manasi! xTieghan
Made this tonight and it was so good! My husband and I loved the crunchiness of the breadcrumbs and the cucumber- something we never would’ve thought to do!
I added carrots along with the bell peppers just because we had some that needed to be used. I think I may have used a little over 1lb of chicken, but either way, I looove sauce and wished I’d had a bit more leftover after it thickened, for spooning on to my rice. If I make it again I’ll probably double the sauce!
Love to hear that, Claire!! Thank you so much for trying this recipe! xTieghan
This is so yum yum delicious. I added some chopped peanuts with the sesame crumb and thin sliced scallions. Otherwise followed to the letter. Fragrant rice, perfectly caramelized chicken in an amazing glazy teriyaki. Gorgeous. Definitely a new regular in the rotation:)
Thank you so much Ames!! I am really glad this turned out so amazing for you! xTieghan
I made this dish last night. So delicious and so easy. The Panko sesame topping was enjoyable! Thank you for creating this wonderful recipe!
Thank you Barbara!! I am so glad this recipe turned out so well for you! xTieghan
Absolutely delicious! My third night in a row cooking your recipes. 🙂 I actually used Rice Krispies instead of the Panko crumbs since I didn’t have any Panko crumbs.
Thank you Holly! I am really glad this turned out so well for you! xTieghan
Simply amazing! One of the best dishes I’ve ever cooked. My husband and 1 year old loved it too!
Aw I am so happy to hear that, Pamella! Thank you! xTieghan
Would this do well as left-overs?
Hey Nikki,
Yes absolutely! I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
The green onion is for garnish?
I’ve made a LOT of your delicious recipes! I like that they are tweakable!
Hey Karin,
Yes I like to use the green onion as a garnish. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
My sauce was too runny and looked nothing like your finished dish. Checked the ingredients amounts, and I was spot on. Should it be cooked down before adding?
Hey Mary,
So sorry you had issues with the sauce. You need to bring the sauce to a boil to get it to thicken, you can always add a little extra cornstarch too. I hope this helps for next time! xTieghan
We had this for lunch today- simply delicious! I‘ll definitely make this again.
Thank you so much Silke! xTieghan
Looked very tempting, gave it a try, it was easy to make and delicious.
Thank you Dave! I am really glad this turned out so well for you! xTieghan
Omg you did it again!! This is soooo delicious I couldn’t even wait for my partner to get home to eat it!
I’m normally too lazy to present my food but having little sides and garnishes with this made me feel like a gourmet chef 🙂
Thank you Georgia!! I am really glad this recipe turned out so well for you! xTieghan
I made this for dinner last night. It is a keeper. Thank you!!
My family loved this recipe. I wanted to eat the panko/sesame mix by the spoonful. And did. Highly recommend!
Wow love to hear that!! Thank you so much Lauren! xTieghan
We just made this for dinner. Husband approved! We already had jasmine rice made so we just used that and added the ginger to the chicken. We also decided against the cucumbers (husband isn’t a fan) and just added a zucchini to the chicken and bell peppers. Great flavors! Cooking times did take a little longer than the recipe, but we figured they would. 😉
Thank you so much Joni! I am really glad this turned out so well for you! xTieghan
We made this tonight. Loved it. The level of each flavor is great. Maybe a little extra heat next time (we like spicy). Agree, the panko topping shouldn’t be skipped. Thanks for another wonderful recipe.
Thank you so much April! xTieghan
Excellent recipe! Added a few more veggies, but great flavor & super easy
Thank you Kate! I am really glad this turned out so well for you! xTieghan
Very flavourful and easy to make! I LOVE the sauce for this recipe!!
Thank you so much Jen! xTieghan
Absolutely DELICIOUS. The crunchy sesame topping was a game changer. Definitely keeping this in the arsenal for future dinners!! I would’ve taken a picture and posted it, but we ate it too fast.
Haha that is a good thing! I am really glad this turned out so well for you, Megan! Thank you! xTieghan
I LOVE Asian food, but usually order out because I feel like it’s easier/tastes better. Tried this last night because it looked SO good and absolutely loved it! It was so light and refreshing that the chicken wasn’t fried and heavy, but still had the crunch of the panko breadcrumbs! Will absolutely make again!!
Love to hear that! Thank you so much for trying this one, Kelsey! xTieghan
I made this last night and it was absolutely delicious! After dinner I dumped the leftover sesame crumble into the leftover sauce and ate it straight from the pan 🙈 I’ve never had a bad experience with these recipes, but this was by far a favorite!
Wow yes! I am really glad this recipe turned out so well for you, Mandy! xTieghan
The tangy teriyaki is so good with the fluffy Ginger rice. I love the sesame crumbs for a little crunch as well. So good!
Thank you so much Meghanne!! I am really glad this turned out so well for you! xTieghan
So delicious! Since we’re only using veggies from the garden, I subbed broccoli for peppers and pattypan for cucumber. Made it with chickpeas not chicken. I love how adaptable all your recipes are for seasonal (to us at high altitude so we lag in what’s available) veggies.
Thank you so much Lindsay! I am really glad this recipe turned out so well for you!! xTieghan
This looks delicious! I’m wondering if there is any way to convert this to have the chicken, peppers and sauce to be cooked in my crockpot?
Hey Rachel,
Sure you could do that, I would do 4-5 hours on low. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
This was excellent! A cinch to make and delicious. You hit the mark every single time!
Thank you Megan! I am so happy to hear that! xTieghan
This was incredibly flavorful and super easy to make. Adding to my regular lineup of easy weeknight meals!
Thank you so much Julie!! I am really glad this turned out so well for you! xTieghan
This chicken was so easy and delicious! Definitely going into the rotation! 💕
Love that! Thank you chelsea! xTieghan
I made it! The flavors are great- that part is certainly taken care of in this recipe, However, I think eliminate something- the bread crumbs? The cucumbers? Just soooooo many carbs that it’s hard to stand up after. The rice is absolutely amazing and restaurant quality at home:)
Hi Jackie! I am glad you enjoyed this one! Please let me know if there is anything I can help with! xTieghan
If I could give this six stars, I would. Fantastic. Comes together quickly and easily. Next time I’m going to double the sauce because it’s just that good and I wanted more to pour on the rice. Also, I might add baby boy choy in with the bell peppers. From one Cleveland girl to another, thanks!
Haha wow this is so amazing to hear! Thank you for trying this one, Alja! xTieghan
I’ve made this twice and both times it was a hit! The first time I made it exactly as the recipe states with the ginger rice, then the second time I thought I’d change it up and made it with the coconut rice from the Thai basil sesame cashew chicken recipe (which, also a great recipe!) and it was phenomenal too! But, I think it’s the crunchy sesame crumbs that take it to a whole different level. So easy and flavorful, I definitely recommend!
Thank you Jennifer! I am really glad this turned out so well for you! xTieghan
My husband and I always struggle to find meals that we both want to eat. We have wildly different tastes, are both sort of picky, and often just end up feeding ourselves. I made this last night because it sounded delicious to me, and didn’t have anything the husband objects to. It was a huge hit! He went back for seconds and even had leftovers, something he’s usually against. The spicy marinated cucumbers were the kicker–we’ll be making this all the time! Thanks for a great recipe. 🙂
Wow that is so great! I am really glad this one turned out so well for the both of you! Thank you so much Caity! xTieghan
I made this for dinner tonight. It was SO good! Thank you for another great recipe. <3
Thank you so much Chris! I am really glad this turned out so well for you! xTieghan
This looks great!
Just wondering wether the nutrition information includes the rice?
Hey Olivia,
Yes the rice is included. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
I made this for dinner tonight and while the result was to die for the timing listed is deceiving. Prep and cook time is much longer than it says in the recipe! Start earlier than you think to not get hangry in a kitchen full of tasty smells halfway thorough…
Thank you so much Madeline! I am really glad this recipe turned out so well for you! xTieghan
Where can I find the recipe for the spicy cucumbers?
Hey Amanda,
The cucumber recipe is included in step 3. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Oh my gosh. This dish was just wonderful! The sauce is so simple but somehow it tastes SO amazing and flavorful! And the breadcrumbs are an absolute must- don’t leave those out!! They add such an incredible variety to the texture of the dish. Oh and the cucumbers- also soo good! All the parts of this dish go together perfectly- the ginger rice, the teriyaki chicken, the spicy cucumbers, and the breadcrumbs… I’m obsessed. This will be made on repeat at my house!!
Thank you so much Tessa! I am so glad this turned out so well for you! Thank you for trying it! xTieghan
Why’s does yours have such a nice dark color? Mine came out light light brown compared to yours.
Hey Cameron,
The longer you let the sauce simmer and thicken the darker it will get. I hope this helps for next time! xTieghan
Family happy.. need to make again. Instructions clear and easy to follow. (I’m not a cook.)
Thank you so much Rick! I am really glad you all enjoyed this one! xTieghan
This was so good! My family loved it! Your recipes are favorites at our house🙂thank you!
Aw thank you! I am really glad this recipe turned out so well for you! xTieghan
My husbands comment “where did you hide the take out containers”. This is fabulous. Great week night recipe. I cheated on the rice as I had some Trader Joes Jasmine frozen rice. I just used those and toss in the sesame oil and ginger. Many thanks for sharing such great recipes
Haha wow that is amazing! I am really glad this turned out so well for you both! Thank you Jennifer! xTieghan
Good recipe ( the sesame/Panko topping was DIVINE and added great texture!) One note: the receipts calls for chives/green onions but doesn’t tell the cook where/when to use.
Hey Julie,
Thanks so much for giving the recipe a try! You can add the chives as a garnish:) Please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Very good – the Panko/sesame topping was DIVINE and added great texture. One note- recipe calls for chives/green onions but doesn’t tell cook where/when to add.
Hi Tieghan,
I’ve been making your recipes for years. Such a big fan. This is my first time commenting. I really loved this one (as with all your recipes), but I had a hard time making the chicken go crispy. I don’t know if it has anything to do with the water that gets released when cooking and then the chicken just seems to boil in its own juices? Maybe that’s also the reason my sauce didn’t seem to want to stick to the chicken at all either. I had a similar issue with the sauce not wanting to stick/glaze the cauliflower in your Kung Pao Cauliflower. Any advice you could give me would be greatly appreciated! I really want to get this technique down properly. Thank you!
Hey Celia,
Thanks so much for your kind message and trying so many recipes. I really like to use cast iron skillets to crisp the chicken and then for the sauce, try adding some corn starch and simmering for a bit to help thicken it up. Please let me know if this helps for next time and if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Delicious! The panko/sesame topping and cucumbers make the dish. Will try again with shrimp or beef. This recipe is a keeper!
Thank you Marcia! I am so glad this turned out so well for you! xTieghan
Looooved this recipe! Delicious weeknight meal! We skipped the cucumbers but DO NOT skip the toasted panko! Such a great mix of textures that really elevated the meal. Was great as leftovers!
I am so happy this recipe turned out so well for you! Thank you Kate! xTieghan
My kids devoured this! I only got a taste. I will double it next tine. Omitted the cucumbers because I didn’t have any. Subbed broccoli for the bell peppers because I also didn’t have any. Subbed apple cider vinegar for the rice vinegar because I didn’t have any. Otherwise I made exactly as instructed. It did take me a little longer. But very tasty!!!
Amazing! I am so happy this turned out well for you and your family, Emily! Thank you! xTieghan
Second recipe and another five star hit!!!!
Wow
Thank you so much Carole! I am so glad this turned out so well for you! xTieghan
Wow – this was absolutely delicious! Another cracker of a recipe on HBH. Thank you x
Thank you so much Lama! xTieghan
Delicious!!!
Thank you Cynthia! xTieghan
Hi!! Can’t wait to make this recipe! Is there a good substitute for rice vinegar?
Hey Danielle,
I would highly recommend the rice vinegar, if not you could try white wine vinegar. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
How thin sliced is the chicken? I only have chicken tenders
Hey Anne,
Chicken tenders will work. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
This sounds delicious, I’m going to give it a try. I almost never have fresh ginger on hand but always have minced ginger. For the rice, is minced ginger an acceptable substitute?
Hey Emily,
Sure that would work. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Easy to make, and always turns out! Flavors are top notch also!
Thank you so much Monica! xTieghan
This was excellent. So easy and delicious. My 7yo daughter loves it too! I added very thinly sliced yellow onion to cucumber salad and recommend it.
That is so amazing! Thank you so much Betsy! xTieghan
Loved this dish! All components went together nicely and I may or may not have gone back for seconds 😉
That is so amazing! Thank you Blair! xTieghan
We have made this twice and it is SO yummy! Especially the unexpected crunchy topping. So easy to substitute veggies and proteins and just follow the process. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much Sarah! I am really happy this recipe turned out so amazing for you! xTieghan
I still consider myself a beginner in the kitchen, but following HBH is doing wonders for my improvement. every recipe of hers that I’ve tried has turned out delicious, and this recipe was probably my most successful effort so far. she breaks everything down into such simple steps that it was hard to get anything wrong here. the sauce was outstanding, and the cucumbers were a really nice touch as a topping. I already look forward to leftovers tomorrow, and I’ll definitely be making this again.
Thank you so much Ryan!! xTieghan
SOOOO TASTY! I had most ingredients on hand which was awesome and it came together in no time. Definitely don’t skip the crunchy topping or cucumbers- they truly make this dish even better!
I am really glad you enjoyed this Haley!! Thank you so much! xTieghan
Made this for a week night dinner and it was stunning, the whole family loved it 🙂
I will say though the sesame oil needs to be reduced, keep it to the cucumber and crumbs or it might over power the recipe. The cucumber + crumb topping was super clever as well, a massive hit!
Hey Leila,
Thanks so much for giving the recipe a try, I am so glad it was enjoyed! Happy Holidays! xTieghan
I have both of your cookbooks and make recipes from your site all the time — but this my first review! Y’ALL, this is delicious. My husband and I love it so so much, I honestly can’t even justify getting takeout teriyaki chicken anymore. I can now make it at home and it actually is better than takeout! The cucumbers add the most delicious crunch and freshness. Possibly my favorite HBH recipe yet!! <3
Hey Kristie,
Thanks so much for your kind message, I am so glad your family loves this recipe! Happy Holidays! xTieghan
Delicious and so crunchy. Don’t skip out on the sesame seed or Panko topping! We added a little chili paste too, for some heat.
What’s the best way to mix in the honey when making the sauce? My husband was so focused on trying to get the honey to emulsify with the liquids. I wondered if that part doesn’t really matter since it’s being heated up anyway.
Hey Melanie,
I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for giving it a try! I used a whisk to mix the honey. Happy Holidays! xTieghan
Merry Christmas Tieghan!🎄❤️❄️
I was feeling under the weather and wound up having Christmas sweets alone for the holiday. Finally wanting something ‘real’, I made this last night and it is perfection! Every detail complements every other, making this exquisite overall- no surprise coming from you!😘 Thank you for giving me some red (peppers) & green (cucumbers) to make my Christmas true in spite of being a day or two late. Absolutely delicious- This is a total keeper!
Hey Gia,
Thanks so much for giving the recipe a try, I am thrilled that it worked out for you! Happy Holidays! xTieghan
Enjoyed this recipe so much as dinner tonight! The breadcrumbs are fantastic and do the extra kick! We will keep this recipe in our rotation! Love all your recipes!
Greetings from Munich, Germany!
Hey Sibylle,
Thanks so much for giving the recipe a try, I am thrilled that it worked out for you! Happy New Year! xTieghan
This was delicious! It will definitely be added to the rotation. The only thing I will change for next time is to use 1 cucumber instead of 2, as we seemed to have a lot leftover. Thanks for another great recipe!!
Hey Teagan,
Thanks so much for giving the recipe a try, I am so glad it was enjoyed! Happy New Year! xTieghan
Made this tonight and we both LOVED it! Will definitely be making this again soon!
Hey Shelly,
Thanks so much for trying out this recipe, I am thrilled that you liked it! I hope you have a great week:) xTieghan
There is no way this recipe is “30 minutes” like truly – this took me over an hour with prep alone. Also, the green onions are not included in the directions at all. Nonetheless, it is delicious and relatively easy to make. The sesame bread crumbs are a must!
Hey Olivia,
So sorry this recipe took you longer than anticipated, everyone cooks at a different speed. Thanks for giving the recipe a try. Have a great Sunday! xTieghan
Took Much longer that 15 minutes prep. The receipt and photo are slightly inconsistent. The photos shows chucks of chicken which I find easier to cook and the recipes says thin slices. The green onions are included in ingredients but don’t seem to be included in instructions. But photo shots strips v minced. I think the recipes need more work to improve taste. Plus the timing is way off!
Hey Monica,
So sorry you did not enjoy this recipe, let me know if I can help in anyway! xTieghan
Thank you for this winning recipe!!
Hey Kristin,
I so appreciate you giving the recipe a try, I am thrilled it was enjoyed! xTieghan
What a delicious recipe. The picked cucumber and breadcrumbs take it to a whole new level. Thank you!
Hey Lesley,
Thank you so much for making the recipe, I am thrilled it was enjoyed! Have a great weekend:) xTieghan
I made this tonight for dinner and I have to say, this is a big thumbs down for me. Hands down the worst stir fry I’ve ever made. The recipe took 2 hours to make and tasted like pickled stir fry in the end. The bread crumbs on top made it have a weird texture to me. This is the first big “miss” from the recipes I’ve tried on this blog.
Also, the sesame oil in the ingredient list should say “divided” even though it mentions it in the steps and the green onions are not referred to in the recipe at all. Pet peeve of mine with recipes!
Hey Kay,
So sorry you did not enjoy the recipe, please let me know if I can help in anyway! xTieghan
Love the flavor of this recipe! Every component adds something so special. Don’t skip on the toasted panko or green onions.
Hey Kate,
Thanks a bunch for giving the recipe a try, I am so glad it was enjoyed! xTieghan
I always tell myself I’ll take pictures after making your recipes, but they turn out soooo good and we dig in immediately so I end up forgetting 😅
Loved this recipe.. we were unsure of the cucumbers at first, but it pairs together so well with this recipe!! So if you had/have doubts about it like we did.. GOO for it.
I only had the instant rice (the kind you pop into the microwave for 90 sec) so I just threw the ginger, salt, and half of the oil in afterwards.. it still turned out great!
Hey Savannah,
Thanks a bunch for making this recipe, I am so glad it was enjoyed! xTieghan
Loved this!! Made it exactly as the recipe is, but added another .5lb of chicken and still had enough sauce.
Hey Nicole,
I am delighted that this recipe was enjoyed, thanks for making it! ☘️ xTieghan
Loved this recipe! However, my chicken didn’t become crispy and after waiting too long for it to become crispy, the chicken started drying up (thankfully the sauce was great and saved the dryer chicken). Do you know what I could do to ensure crispy chicken? Love your recipes though!
Hey Selena,
That is so awesome this recipe was enjoyed, thanks for making it! Was there anything you adjusted? The cooking temp should really result in crispy chicken. Happy Friday! xTieghan
Whole family loved this one. My fav is the crunchy topping. I almost didn’t do the cucumbers but I am glad I gave them a try because they were delicious with the sauce.
Hey Cara,
Thanks so much for making this recipe, I am so glad that it was enjoyed! xTieghan
