TERIYAKI CHICKEN SIDE DISH OPTIONS
- Tempura
Another Japanese dish, but this one uses all vegetables instead. It consists of sweet potatoes, squash, and eggplant with Panko breadcrumbs and deep-fry until golden. The final part ues sweet tempura sauce for that for rich flavor.
Vegetable stir fry is another traditional Japanese side dish that’s delicious, wholesome, and quick and easy to make and makes and excellent side dish for your Teriyaki Chicken.
For this you will need these ingredients:
- Cabbage,
- Onions
- Carrots
- Snow peas
- Carrots
- Bean sprouts
- Add garlic and ginger for more flavor
To recreate that authentic Japanese taste, you will also need some soy sauce, sake, and sesame oil.
- Noodles
As were are trying to create an authentic Japanese dish, why not use some Japanese noodles like Ramen Ramyun noodles.
- Eggplant
Eggplant is another basic in Asian cuisine. There are many ways to prepare this versatile dish, but I like marinating it in teriyaki sauce to match the chicken.
- Salad
Salad is not a Japanese dish yet, you could make your own salad side and garnish with Ceaser salad sauce or any other salad dressing.
