Cooking Steps
- Add 1 cup (2 cups) water and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Meanwhile, using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
- Add rice to the boiling water, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min. (NOTE: Reduce heat to low if water is boiling over.)
- Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- Meanwhile, trim snow peas.
- Thinly slice green onion.
- Peel, then cut carrot into 1/4-inch half-moons.
- Add panko to a shallow bowl. Set aside.
- Add ketchup, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) water, half the soy sauce (use all for 4 ppl) and 3/4 tsp (1 1/2 tsp) sugar to a small microwavable bowl. Whisk to combine. Set aside.
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels.
- Carefully slice into centre of each chicken breast, lengthwise and parallel to the cutting board, leaving 1/2-inch intact on the other end. Open up chicken like a book. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Coat chicken all over with mayo.
- Working with one chicken breast at a time, press both sides into panko to coat completely.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add 2 tbsp oil, then chicken. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches for 4 ppl, using 2 tbsp oil per batch).
- Pan-fry on one side until golden-brown, 4-5 min. Flip each piece and add another 1 tbsp oil. Pan-fry until golden-brown, 4-5 min. (TIP: If chicken browning too quickly, reduce heat to medium!)
- Transfer to a wire rack.
- Carefully wipe pan clean with paper towels.
- Add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to the same pan (used in step 4), then carrots, snow peas and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) water. Cook, stirring often until tender-crisp and water has evaporated, 4-5 min.
- Remove the pan from heat, then season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, heat BBQ sauce mixture in microwave until warmed through, 1 min. (TIP: If you don't have a microwave, heat sauce in a small pot over medium heat!) Set aside.
- Fluff rice with a fork. Stir in green onions and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter. Season with salt.
- Divide rice between bowls, then top with veggies and chicken.
- Drizzle BBQ sauce mixture over top.

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavor: Many enjoyed the crispy chicken, but some found the sauce too ketchup-like and not authentically Japanese.
- Ease of prep: Several noted longer prep time than expected; consider allowing extra time for breading the chicken.
- Suggestions: Try baking the chicken instead of frying for easier cooking. Add spicy chili sauce to boost flavor.
- Portions: Some felt portions were small; consider adding a side salad to round out the meal.
- Texture: Ensure chicken is cooked through without burning the breading; adjust heat as needed.
