Ingredients
- 4 cups cooked sushi rice
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more for brushing
- 200g skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1/2 inch chunks
- 1/2 cup chicken broth

- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 sheet of toasted nori
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons garlic chives or spring onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, mirin, sake, soy sauce, and sugar.
-
Brush the chicken with the mixture and let it cook for a few minutes.
-
Place the cooked chicken onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased foil. Brush with the remaining sauce and bake for 10 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, warm the cooked sushi rice over medium heat.
-
When the chicken is done baking, cut the nori sheet into small squares.
-
To assemble the yakitori rice bowl, divide the sushi rice among 4 bowls. Top each bowl with the yakitori chicken, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, garlic chives (or spring onion), and a square of nori. Drizzle with sesame oil.

Serve the yakitori rice bowl hot and enjoy!
