Karlynn’s Tips and Tricks for Making Teriyaki Rice
Use a Rice Cooker: If you prefer to cook your rice in a rice cooker, go for it. Just use your rice cooker’s White Rice setting and be prepared for it to take longer than the time indicated in this recipe. Use broth for your liquid and then add your other ingredients right near the end of your rice cooker’s cooking time.
Add Some Flair: The flavours of teriyaki sauce go well with things like sesame seeds, fried onions, and chili flakes. Try adding some crushed ginger or grating some fresh ginger right on top with your other garnishes.
Serve With a Protein: One of the great things about teriyaki rice is how versatile it is! You can serve it alongside just about any protein, as long as you season your protein in a complimentary way. Try pairing it with this Grilled Teriyaki Chicken or Teriyaki Steak. Another great option here is Meatballs.
Storage Instructions
Fridge: Rice is even tastier (and healthier) the next day! Store in a sealed container in your fridge for several days.
Freezer: While the taste will inevitably change, you can let this rice cool and then freeze it in a sealed container to reheat later on. It should be fine for several months.
