My family really enjoyed this dish. I added peppers, snap peas and broccoli, and the flavors meshed really well together. Like another reviewer said, we like extra sauce for the rice, so I thought the amount of sauce was perfect. I'm adding this to my recipe collection so I use it for the next stir fry I make!!

I agree with other reviewers that this recipe turned out way too salty. Our family had to drink lots of water after this meal. I would not recommend it...the amount of soy sauce is too strong.

Substitute pineapple juice for half the soy sauce without using the lite. It cuts back the sodium and gives more of an island teriyaki flavor. Those who want can always top off with extra soy sauce on the plate.
