Instructions:
- Make the Teriyaki Sauce:
- In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, mirin, honey (or brown sugar), rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger.

- Cook the Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
- Add the broccoli florets and sliced red bell pepper. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Combine Chicken and Sauce:
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables.
- Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly with the sauce.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
- Assemble the Bowls:
- Divide the cooked rice among four bowls.
- Top each bowl with the teriyaki chicken and broccoli mixture.
