Step 1
Rinse rice in cold water until water runs clear. Boil 3 cups water in a medium pot, add rice and salt. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until tender, ~15 minutes.
Step 2
Cut chicken thighs into 1-inch chunks. Pat dry with paper towels.
Step 3
Whisk together soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger in a small bowl.
Step 4
Heat sesame oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering, ~60 seconds.
Step 5
Add chicken in a single layer. Cook without stirring for 3 minutes until golden underneath.
Step 6
Stir and cook until chicken is no longer pink, another 3-4 minutes total.
Step 7
Pour teriyaki sauce over chicken. Simmer for 2 minutes, stirring, until sauce coats chicken and thickens slightly.
Step 8
Divide hot rice between two bowls. Top with glazed chicken and sauce.
Step 9
Garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds if using. Serve immediately.
