The sweet and salty teriyaki sauce in combination with the spicy sriracha, give this dish a delicious flavour profile.

Notes
- †For this recipe, we prefer to use day-old cooked rice. 1 cup of dry white rice equals 3 cups when cooked.
- †Traditionally, teriyaki sauce is made with just soy sauce, sake (or mirin), and sugar. Make sure to check the ingredients of your bottle so it doesn't have too many other ingredients that may affect the flavour.
Storage
- Can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Really easy to make, so it is perfect for when one is busy. I just don't know about the rice portion? I felt like it was maybe a bit too much. I was making 4 portions and around 1 kilo of rice seems too much, but I might be mistaken?
We topped with M&S everything seasoning and crispy onions it was delicious and super simple to make. Husband who doesn’t like tofu ate the whole lot. Loved it.
Super facile et super rapide à faire. Rapport temps/gustatif super
Easy de delicious, great meal to use leftover veg.
Tasty recipe that came together quickly! I added extra veggies and put kimchi on top instead of pickled red onion
Delicious! I fried the rice on its before adding the sauce for about 7 minutes to allow it to get crispy first. I’ll be tripling the recipe next time. Yum!
Delicious! This was the first recipe I’ve tried on here and I’m beginning to transition into veganism. These recipes make me very excited about it.
Delicious!! Hearty and filling. I added some sriracha on top for some heat
Delicious! Will do it again !
This is going to be one of our favourites!!! The pickled onion on top is a game changer and something I would never have thought of!!! Another great recipe and another reason to be on this app!!! Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
So-o-o good! Perfect lunch for busy days or rainy Sundays when I‘m not up to cooking for a long time. I had to swap white for red cabbage and it was very yummi, too. My picky kid - Vitamins! Danger! - gobbled up the plate and then asked amazed: There were vegetables in it?? And it’s healthy?? 😮
Thanks for the great recipe!
