Tasty Low Syn Teriyaki Chicken and Rice Bowl - the flavours in this yummy dish will be a hit for the entire family. 

I love teriyaki chicken and rice and it's my go-to dish to order whenever I am at the mall and I haven't had lunch, as it's usually not too bad syn wise.

Lots of veggies, steamed white rice and then the teriyaki chicken (syns in the sauce of course, but not enough to blow my daily syn allowance).

So what exactly is teriyaki? Teriyaki is a Japanese style of cooking of meat or fish that is grilled or broiled with a delicious sauce that consists of soy sauce, sake (or mirin), sugar, ginger and garlic.

Although you will find many variations on the sauce. In fact, probably no sauce is the same, it can vary so much in quantities of ingredients.

Sake or Mirin which is usually a main part to the sauce can sometimes be hard to obtain, usually only found at specialist Asian stores, so I just use Maple Syrup for the sweet part of the sauce or if you don't have maple syrup you can always use honey.

The rest of the components are ingredients most will have in their store cupboard, so pretty simple.

Instead of cooking the chicken on its own like it would come if you ordered Teriyaki Chicken from a takeaway. For this Teriyaki Chicken and Rice Bowl, I like to combine everything all in one pan.

It means the rice also gets coated in those amazing teriyaki sauce flavours and resembles a fried rice dish - Yummy!!!

Don't fancy chicken? Feel free to use beef, pork or shrimp. You could even skip the protein altogether and just keep it as a Teriyaki Flavoured Vegetable Fried Rice.
