I love Poke Bowls so much. But, whenever I go to a restaurant and get them, I end up paying up to $20 for my order, which is ridiculous. Well, this poke-inspired chicken bowl is just what I need.

For The Chicken

150 gramsraw chicken breast

2 Tbspsoy sauce

2 tspmirin

Instructions

For the chicken

Step 1

Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes. I personally prefer smaller cubes.

Step 2

In a container, add the chicken, along with the ingredients for the marinade: soy sauce, mirin/rice vinegar, sesame oil, green onion, and garlic. Mix until the chicken is thoroughly coated, and let marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, sealed.

Step 3

Cook the chicken on medium heat until tender and fully cooked. Be careful not to burn the soy sauce.

For the rice

Step 4

Follow the package instructions to cook the rice in a pot, or use a rice cooker to get it perfect effortlessly.

Step 5

Season cooked rice with rice vinegar and a pinch of salt. The rice is now ready to use.

For the pickled carrots

Step 6

Thinly slice your carrots into even batons. Place them in a sealable jar, and top with a mixture of equal parts water and vinegar, along with salt to taste. These can be refrigerated until use.

The other ingredients.

Step 7

Slice your cucumber into even pieces. Set aside until use.

Step 8

Cook your peas on medium heat in a pan until they appear bright green and slighly softened. Don't overcook them.

Assembly

Step 9

Lay out a bed of rice in a bowl.

Step 10

Add all of your ingredients on top of your rice, dividing them into separate parts. Optionally you can top with cilantro, sesame seeds, and green onion.
