Teriyaki Beef and Broccoli Bowl in a Rice Cooker


  • Author: kyriethefoodie
  • Total Time: 25 minutes

Description

 

A teriyaki beef and broccoli bowl made in a rice cooker is an effortless, one-pot meal where tender beef, steamed broccoli, and savory-sweet teriyaki sauce combine with fluffy rice for a quick, flavorful dish.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup rice (I recommend Japanese short-grain or medium grain for the most authentic Japanese experience!)
  • Water
  • 1 lb ground beef, uncooked
  • 1 cup broccoli (frozen or fresh both work great)
  • 3/4 cup teriyaki sauce (you can use store-bought or make your own using the ingredients below)
  • 1 avocado
  • Chili crisp (for drizzling on top; optional)
  • Roasted sesame seeds (for garnish; optional)

Teriyaki Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tbsp honey (substitute with brown sugar)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ginger, grated
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch (add more or less depending on thickness preference)

Instructions

  1. Begin by giving your rice a good rinse to clean it. Then pour it into the rice cooker, along with the appropriate amount of water. Be sure to follow the instructions for the correct water amount depending on the type of rice you are using. I used medium-grain rice, which requires 2 cups of water for every 1.5 cups of rice.
  2. Skip this step if you are using store-bought teriyaki sauce. To a small sauce pan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, water, brown sugar or honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and cornstarch. Let it cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened. Remove from heat.
  3. To a medium-sized bowl, add your ground beef and 1/2 of your teriyaki sauce. Mix to combine.
  4. To the rice cooker, add your broccoli and marinated ground beef. Close the rice cooker lid and cook on the regular white rice setting until done.
  5. Serve, and top each serving with the rest of the teriyaki sauce, half of an avocado, and some chili crisp and roasted sesame seeds as garnish.
