Teriyaki chicken rainbow bowl
Serves 2
Succulent baked teriyaki chicken served with seasoned soba noodles and a nourishing collection of crisp and colorful vegetables.
2 teaspoons cornstarch (cornflour)
5 tablespoons Japanese soy sauce
2½ tablespoons mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
1½ tablespoons sugar
2 uncooked skinless chicken breast fillets
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
3½ oz (100g) dried soba noodles
½ cup frozen corn kernels
½ cup frozen edamame beans
1 carrot — peeled and cut into thin strips
½ cup thinly-sliced cucumber
½ red pepper — cut into thin strips
2 radishes — thinly sliced
1 scallion — thinly sliced
ADD the cornstarch to a small bowl. SLOWLY add 4 tablespoons of the soy sauce, mixing constantly, until the cornstarch has dissolved. STIR in the sugar and 2 tablespoons of the mirin. HEAT the sauce mixture in a saucepan over a high heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. PREHEAT the oven to 450°F/230°C. PLACE the chicken in a baking tray lined with baking paper and spoon the teriyaki sauce on top of each fillet (use the back of the spoon to spread the sauce out evenly). BAKE for 20 minutes. WHILE the chicken bakes, cook the soba noodles according to package directions then toss with the sesame oil and remaining tablespoon of soy sauce and ½ tablespoon of mirin. REMOVE the chicken from the oven, allow to rest for 5 minutes, then thickly slice. SERVE the chicken and noodles in large bowls with the corn, edamame, carrot, cucumber, red pepper, radishes and scallion.
