    From the Test Kitchen

    We're calling on the classic flavors of Hawaiian-Japanese favorite teriyaki by combining soy glaze and mirin (or sweet rice wine) to spoon over chicken as it sears in the pan, resulting in the irresistibly savory-sweet flavor for which the dish is prized. We’re serving it alongside fluffy white rice and stir-fried vegetables, then giving it all a little extra kick of flavor with a garnish of togarashi.

    tips & techniques
    Make the aromatic rice
    1 Make the aromatic rice

    Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Peel the ginger; finely chop to get 2 teaspoons (you may have extra).In a medium pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the chopped garlic and chopped ginger; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes, or until slightly softened. Add the rice, a big pinch of salt, and 1 cup of water (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, without stirring, 13 to 15 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Turn off the heat and fluff with a fork.
