Teriyaki Chicken and Cauliflower is one of my favorite weeknight dinners. It is quick and easy and tastes phenomenal! My top tip for this recipe is to prepare and chop all the veggies and meat. Place everything you prepare into individual bowls. Once you start cooking this recipe comes together fast.
Start by cooking quinoa or brown rice as per package instructions. Combine soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, and cornstarch in a small bowl. Preheat a large cast-iron skillet or wok and coat with oil. Add cauliflower and cook for 5 minutes. Transfer the charred cauliflower to a medium bowl and set aside. Add chicken, garlic, and ginger to the skillet and cook until slightly charred. Whisk teriyaki sauce and pour over chicken. Stir fry for 1 minute until thickened. Return the cauliflower and stir fry for another minute. Sprinkle with chopped green onion and sesame seeds. Serve immediately with the cooked brown rice or quinoa.
To make my Teriyaki Chicken and Cauliflower, you will need the following ingredients:
Follow the package instructions to cook brown rice or quinoa.
Place 3 tablespoons of soy sauce in a small bowl with 3 tablespoons of maple syrup, 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Whisk until fully combined and set aside.
Heat a large cast iron skillet or wok over medium-high heat and swirl 1 tablespoon of oil around to coat. Add the cauliflower florets and cook for 5 minutes, stirring a few times. Once char develops, transfer to a medium bowl and set aside.
