Assemble all the ingredients.
- 2
In a small bowl, mix the scallions, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, ginger, salt, and 1/3 cup of the teriyaki sauce until combined.
- 3
In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups of the rice with 2 tablespoons of the teriyaki sauce mixture. Add oil to a 10-inch non-stick skillet. Add the rice mixture to the skillet and use a flat spatula to press it into an even layer that covers the bottom of the skillet.
- 4
Stir together the remaining 2 cups rice with the remaining 6 tablespoons teriyaki sauce mixture until the rice is fully coated. Spoon this rice over the rice in the skillet. Use a flat spatula to press it down and flatten, making sure there are no gaps.
- 5
Cook over medium heat, uncovered, pressing the rice down occasionally, until it sizzles and starts to brown and crisp around the edges of the skillet, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- 6
Place a large plate upside down over the skillet. Holding both securely, invert the skillet so the rice transfers to the plate. Gently slide the rice back into the skillet, using a flat spatula to help if needed. Cook over medium heat until a crust forms and the edges are crisp, 5 to 6 minutes.
- 7
While the rice cooks, mix the shredded chicken with the remaining 1/3 cup teriyaki sauce in a small skillet. Cook over medium heat until the chicken is warmed through, about 2 minutes.
- 8
Slide the crispy rice onto a large plate. Top the rice with the chicken, sesame seeds, and scallions. Drizzle with more teriyaki sauce.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
