The rice was cooked in turkey stock I made from a free turkey.
I didn’t have any teriyaki sauce so I made some. It’s not as cost effective as buying it. It costs about three dollars to make 2/3 of a cup. But I can make it with stuff I already keep on hand and know that it’s not made with cheap stuff or end up throwing away most of a bottle in the future.
Cost per person: $2 plus $1.25 for the dollar store egg roll.
I think thats fine. One thing I would say though is you shouldn’t need the corn starch. The idea of teriyaki is that the sauce becomes shiny and thick as u cook it down giving the food u coat it with a shiny “teriyaki” look. I would recommend just trying it once. Properly made teriyaki chicken tastes amazing IMO.
It’s a bit of a crutch for using far less sugar, but maybe you’re right.
