Hawaiian Teriyaki Chicken Bowls are delicious rice, chicken and veggie bowls with coconut rice, sauteed vegetables, and chicken topped with a sweet and spicy homemade teriyaki sauce!
This homemade hawaiian teriyaki chicken bowl is amazing. It tastes just like the hawaiian teriyaki chicken and rice bowl from a delicious restaurant we have here called Rumbi. If you love teriyaki chicken, you’ll love this Teriyaki Chicken Sandwich too.
The delicious chicken bowl starts with a homemade coconut rice, topped with fresh sauteed veggies, and sauteed chicken. The vegetables are a mix of broccoli, shredded carrots, zucchini squash, and celery.
For my seafood loving friends, try these Bang Bang Shrimp Rice Bowls instead.
Its then topped with a homemade sweet and spicy Hawaiian teriyaki sauce. The sauce has a bit of a spicy kick, so I recommend you add a little less chili garlic sauce if you don’t want the kick. I think it blends nicely with the cool slightly sweet coconut rice.
Rumbi has red beans with their rice as well, but I like it without. If you want to add them you can mix a can of them in when you are cooking the rice.
The chicken and vegetables would be delicious served over white rice, brown rice, or noodles as well!
Mix all the ingredients together when you’re eating for the best flavor ever!
Even if you have never been to Rumbi Island Grill before, you will love this combination of flavors! But if you have been, and love these bowls as much as I do, you can now satisfy your craving without going into the restaurant.

Notes

HI. I’m so excited to try this recipe. Can you clarify what to buy for “dried ginger”? Does that mean freeze dried chopped up really small? Thanks.
Aimee says
I mean ground ginger, you’ll find it in the spice section 🙂
Carol Foster says
This looks great but on my recipe there is no amount of chicken. Plan to make this for the granddkids, so need an amount.
Aimee says
Sorry, I’m fixing that now! Its 2 large chicken breasts, or 3 if they are smaller!
Claudia says
Oh my!! I made this for dinner tonight! My whole family LOVED it! Thank you!!
One question– where do you buy Yoshidas sauce?
aimeeberrett says
Thanks for telling me. I buy it from Costco, what did you use instead? I think other grocery stores might have it too though!
