I’ll start by saying I don’t eat fish so this was the last thing I was interested in trying. Ben however, loves salmon and thought this looked great! I decided to make myself a Chicken Teriyaki Bowl while he made salmon for himself. We both looked at the depth of the marinade and Ben suggested we try our favorite Island Soyaki from Trader Joe’s instead (saved time and we knew we would like it).
Ingredients– Of course, we hit a snafu earlier at the grocery store- no edamame. We opted for snap peas which I’ve only ever eaten raw as a snack and wasn’t totally sure how this would cook. Ben made his salmon in the oven with salt and pepper (forgot to add his Island Soyaki until halfway through!) while I cut my piece of chicken into chunks that I cooked on the stove with the Island Soyaki sauce.
I also opted for snap peas in a frying pan with some minced garlic. Shout-out to Costco for the LARGEST jar of minced garlic anyone could ever need- although my car still smells like garlic from the 4 hour trek from Boston to NYC.
We made white rice to go along with it- skipped over the sesame seeds and other steps to make this rice more authentic. Basmati did us well. I topped mine off with green onion because there was not a chive to be found at ShopRite.
Unfortunately I remembered about 3 hours later that we were supposed to include the Avocado. I was especially bummed because I checked all of the avocados at ShopRite for the most ripe one 🤦♀️
Overall Rating– We really loved our teriyaki bowls and we would cook it again for dinner in the future. It was also prepped and cooked in about 20 min, we LOVE a quick dinner! This one is a winner!
Let me know if you try this dinner, either sticking straight to the recipe or modifying as you go!
