This is a very simple and fairly healthy dish, very easy to make in large quantities or single portions. The ingredients are few and the recipe flexible; the basic sauce only requires soy sauce, water & sugar, but can also be enhanced with ginger and rice wine if desired. Our recipe only includes vegetables, but pieces grilled or simply cooked meat can also be added.

Ingredients

• Steamed Rice – white or brown (your choice)
• Steamed Vegetables — as many or few as desired — below are a few suggestions:
  • Broccoli
  • Cabbage
  • Onions
  • Carrots
  • Mushrooms
  • Zucchini
  • Green Onions
• Teriyaki Sauce made with:
  • Soy Sauce
  • Water
  • Sugar or honey
  • Additional optional flavoring for the sauce:
    • Ginger (we often use powder)
    • Rice Wine

Preparation

1. Cook the rice
2. Steam or microwave the vegetables
3. To make the sauce:
   1. Heat the Soy Sauce in a saucepan on the stove with low heat
   2. Add a little water
   3. Add sugar to taste (as sweet as you like)
   4. Optional flavoring (ginger flavoring or rice wine) if desired
4. Serve:
   1. Put steamed rice in a bowl
   2. A layer of vegetables on top
   3. (If using meat add it here.)
   4. Ladle the sauce over both. Using a spoon or small ladle and adding the sauce in small increments is recommended as soy sauce can be quite salty.

That’s it. Enjoy.
