Preparation
Prepare the chicken
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Pat the chicken dry; season with S&P.
- In a medium bowl, combine the miso, ⅓ of the mirin, ½ the sesame oil and black pepper.
- Add the chicken; toss well.
- Arrange on a lined sheet pan and sprinkle the tops with the sesame seeds.
Roast the carrots & chicken
- Halve the carrots lengthwise.
- In a second medium bowl, combine the carrots, ½ the remaining mirin, the remaining sesame oil and S&P.
- Add to the pan of chicken and roast, flipping the carrots halfway, 20 to 25 min., until the chicken* is cooked through and the carrots are tender.
Cook the rice
- Meanwhile, thinly slice the scallion crosswise, separating the white bottom and green top.
- In a medium pot, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the white bottom of the scallion and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant.
- Add the rice, 1 ½ cups water (double for 4 portions) and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 14 to 16 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
- Remove from the heat, add the remaining mirin and let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff the rice.
Plate your dish
- Divide the rice between your plates.
