Chef’s Tips

  • For extra crunch, top with chopped cashews or sliced almonds before serving.
  • Want more heat? Add red pepper flakes or a drizzle of sriracha.
  • Make it low-carb by swapping the rice for cauliflower rice or shirataki noodles.
  • Meal prep tip: Store in airtight containers for up to 4 days and reheat in a skillet or microwave.
  • Short on time? Use store-bought teriyaki sauce instead of making your own.
