Teriyaki Rice Bowls (Rumbi Copycat)

For awhile now I've been on the lookout for a good rice bowl recipe. We've tried a few - and none have really done it for us. They were all missing that "spark." That was until we found this recipe.

These rice bowls, meant to taste like the Rumbi Hawaiian Restaurant rice bowls here in Utah, definitely have that spark we've been on the search for! Not only did I have most of the ingredients on-hand, but it was an easy recipe that everyone loved. Don't be scared away by the list of ingredients. Once you have all the vegetables cut up and the chicken cooked, the rest is a breeze. (Oh and I dare you not to eat all the rice before it's meal time. Best rice I've had in a long, long time!)
