“So delicious! The whole family loved it! I marinated for 2 hours, but wished it had been longer for deeper. I broiled the chicken tenders for 6 min each side. I used Calrose rice plus the can of coconut milk and water to equal 3 cups. Also a pinch of salt ” — a cook, 5.0★
“Made this tonight, followed the recipe exactly and it was delicious!! The lime and small amount of curry powder differentiated it from an ordinary teriyaki flavor profile. I didn't have enough ingredients to make extra sauce and I'd definitely prioritize that ” — a cook, 5.0★
