Yesterday I threw this delicious bag of frozen goodness into our crockpot and dinner was practically done. Now if I can just break down and buy an instant pot to cook my brown rice, things would be even quicker. Anyway, back to the recipe. The key to its tastiness is the homemade teriyaki sauce recipe you’ll find below. It was sweet, salty and delicious.
