This dinner was inspired by Kenji’s TikTok odyssey through his home of Seattle to all the teriyaki shops. I hope this is welcome here.
The chicken is boneless skinless thigh marinated in soy sauce, oyster sauce, ginger and garlic. It was char-grilled and glazed with a homemade teriyaki sauce. The rice is a basic long grain, rinsed thoroughly and steamed. Pan fried frozen pot stickers (couldn’t get gyoza). I had a basic bag salad in the fridge and used a recipe for the dressing I found online: 1 cup mayo, 1/2 cup rice vinegar, 4 tbsp white sugar, 4 tbsp sesame oil, 2 tbsp soy sauce (I had silver swan), and 1/2 tsp garlic powder. I added white pepper and blitzed it in my ninja bullet for about 30 seconds until creamy.
For being in north Texas, I think I did pretty good. I can definitely see the appeal of this lunch box, I’m definitely going to try this out next time I go to Seattle. Best part is, I already had everything but the potstickers at home.

Willing to share the homemade teriyaki sauce?
I spent way too long thinking that ramekin of sauce was your phone
Looks delicious!
As a native Seattleite I gotta say that looks pretty damn good! I was loving that series but then I got blocked by kenji on Instagram because I got in an argument in the comments because the gyoza aren’t really a standard thing in a teriyaki chicken meal
This makes me miss home 🥲
