Chicken Pattie mixture is often very sticky and it can be difficult to roll into patties. You need to wet your hands with Oil OR Water to do it. The other day I discovered that I could form the mixture into patties just like making pancakes. Today I cooked this rice bowl just for myself. How easy it was! And it tasted great and looked amazing.

  2. In a separate small bowl, combine the Teriyaki Sauce ingredients.
  3. Prepare additional toppings if you add any.
  4. Heat a small amount of Oil in a small frying pan over medium heat, place Chicken Pattie mixture, form into a round, and cook until both sides are nicely browned and cooked though.
  5. Half fill a bowl with warm Cooked Rice, place the cooked Chicken Pattie and other toppings.
