When you need a quick and delicious dinner idea, you have to make this easy teriyaki salmon recipe! The salmon is pan-fried in sake and teriyaki sauce. In the picture above, I made a salmon teriyaki bento box. I served it with fresh broccoli, corn, tomatoes, and kimchi.

For this bento box, I teamed up with some AMAZING creators for this collab. Make sure to check out their bento box videos on instagram and tik tok: @thevietvegan, @rootedinspice, @shreyaskitchen, @okonomikitchen, @tifffoodss, @stellanspice, @teekeatz, and @jenlimm to make beautiful bento boxes, so please check theirs out too!!

Salmon Teriyaki Sauce

The recipe calls for marinating the salmon with a little bit of salt. Then we will pan fry the salmon with some sake.

Afterwards, we will add the sauce towards the end of cooking to create a nice teriyaki glaze. See sauce ingredients below.

Teriyaki Salmon with Rice

Lately, I’ve been loving the viral salmon rice from Emily Mariko. The viral salmon rice is salmon plus rice, kewpie mayo, soy sauce, and siracha hot sauce. You mix all the ingredients together and eat it with roasted seaweed. I added my version of salmon rice in the recipe card. The game changer for me is the sticky rice!

I highly suggest to make the teriyaki salmon recipe and then mix with sticky rice and sauce. Eat the salmon rice bowl with some roasted seaweed and you have this amazing meal!

Ingredients you need for your salmon teriyaki bowl:

  • sticky rice
  • white jasmine rice or Japanese rice
  • salmon
  • salt and black pepper
  • vegetable oil
  • corn (optional)
  • tomatoes (optional)
  • broccoli (optional)
  • hard-boiled egg (optional)
  • seaweed
  • siracha hot sauce
  • corn starch (optional)
  • sesame seeds

teriyaki sauce:

  • instant dashi
  • sugar
  • mirin
  • sake
  • water
  • soy sauce

Steps to make the salmon teriyaki bowl:

  • Step 1. Cook sticky rice by mixing 1/2 cup of sweet rice (sticky rice) with 1.5 cups of jasmine rice. Wash rice and cook it according to package directions.
  • Step 2. Once the rice is cooked, it’s time to make the salmon. Marinate 1 pound of salmon with 1 teaspoon salt on both sides. This is optional, but you can add a thin layer of corn starch on both sides to make the salmon crispier.
    • Note: Take out salmon out of the refrigerator 15 minutes prior to cooking. This ensure even cooking and the center of the salmon is cooked.
  • Step 3. To make the teriyaki sauce, mix 1 teaspoon instant dashi, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon mirin, 1 tablespoon sake, 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon water. Mix well until dissolved.
  • Step 4. Heat pan to medium heat and add 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil. Once the pan is hot, add salmon and cook for 3-4 minutes.
  • Step 5. Add 1 tablespoon sake or white wine to the pan and cover pan with a lid. Cook for 3 minutes and set the salmon aside.
  • Step 6. Turn pan down to low-medium and add the teriyaki sauce and cook until it has a nice glaze consistency (1-2 minutes). Add the salmon back in the pan and add teriyaki sauce on top. Garnish with sesame seeds.
  • Step 7. Eat the salmon with sticky rice and some of your favorite vegetables. I added corn, tomatoes, and broccoli. I also added a hard boiled egg in the bowl for extra protein.
  • Step 8. (Optional but highly recommended) Add some kewpie mayo, soy sauce, siracha to the rice and salmon. Mix everything together and eat with some roasted seaweed. Hope you enjoy!

Latest ‘Grams

My new favorite soup right now 😍Here’s a supe My new favorite soup right now 😍Here’s a super easy and not traditional Korean ox bone soup aka Seolleongtang 설렁탕 🥰 Super hot bone broth is topped with beautifully marbled beef, Chinese chives, green onions, and some salt and pepper to taste. Add some Korean kimchi radish and it’s chef’s kiss!

See blog post for more detail on the ingredients (like which bone broth I bought) and full recipe ◡̈ You gotta use somen noodles for this recipe. It only takes 3 minutes to make. Tip: boil noodles at the same time as the broth to make cooking fast🍜

Wishing you luck, health and prosperity with this Wishing you luck, health and prosperity with this turnip cake recipe aka loh bok go in cantonese. Gung Hey Fat Choy ([恭喜发财] my dumplings! PS. I don’t recommend saying lai see dou loi unless you’re very close to that relative or you are a young child lol

Full recipe is linked in bio or find on my bloggg 🧧🐰

I finally finished testing out this recipe (it’s beeen a few months haha)! I was struggling with the texture for a little while. Now, the recipe is good to go ◡̈  The flavor is very savory from the chinese sausage and cured pork belly (made from my dad!) and also sweet from the radish. The texture is firm but not too doughy because I loaded this up with lots and lots of radish. You will never find a restaurant that has as much radish as this homemade recipe. Lastly, I pan fried the turnip cake to give it a nice crisp at the end. 

Don’t forget Chinese New Year is celebrated on the eve (21st of January!) so have a nice dinner with your family on Saturday. Then my mom told me to not clean or do any labor on actual Chinese New Years Day (22nd of January). Wishing all you dumplings good health and wealth in the upcoming year.

This egg drop soup is inspired by my parent’s Ch This egg drop soup is inspired by my parent’s Chinese restaurant 😋Silken tofu is cooked in a sweet chicken broth and cornstarch slurry is added to thicken the soup as well as make the smooth & thick texture. 

Some Cantonese restaurants serve this with real crab meat (highly recommend if you have this!) and the color is on the whiter end (hence why we’re using egg whites!). However, if you want to use the whole egg, feel free to use it! The egg yolk makes the soup more yellow and creamy. 

You can google ‘cook with dana egg drop soup’ for full recipe or find it in my link in bio! Hope you have a wonderful week my dumplings and can’t wait to show you my Chinese New Year recipes!

Fridge clean out time! 🙃 Crab jeon (omelette) o Fridge clean out time! 🙃 Crab jeon (omelette) or korean seafood pancake is a great recipe to use all your leftover ingredients in the fridge. For groceries, I always use the ‘first in, first out’ method meaning the older groceries need to be used before eating the new stuff. I’m chopping up leftover vegetables and onions in small pieces and mixing them together with imitation crab. The pancake may taste different depending on what ingredients you have but once you mix it with eggs and some flour (especially korean pancake mix!), it will taste scrumptious in it’s own unique way. 

The next time you stock up, make sure to keep some type of seafood in the freezer at all times. For me, I tend to buy extra imitation crab and shrimp. Then you will always have good staples to make with your leftover ingredients. 

Check link in bio for recipe or google ‘crab jeon dana’ to find full recipe and directions ◡̈ Stay dry california dumplings, there’s lots of rain here haha.

My uncle taught me how to make braised pork over r My uncle taught me how to make braised pork over rice! This dish tastes sweet and savory (similar to teriyaki) which goes so well with rice. The recipe is inspired by Japanese soboro don which is served with scrambled egg, but I think it also reminds me of the Taiwanese dish, Lu rou fan. We cook the ground pork down in some beer to make the meat taste sweeter as well as cut down on the gaminess. 

Don’t forget to serve with hot white rice and a sunny side egg to complete the meal. I was intensely writing down the ingredients and instructions so you can make it at home 😉❤️Check it out in my link in bio or google ‘braised pork rice dana’ 🍚

You’re about to eat 2 bowls of rice with this ea You’re about to eat 2 bowls of rice with this easy and delicious mapo tofu! This is spicy, flavorful and a little tingly from the peppercorn oil. This is not an authentic replica of the sichuan mapo tofu but it’s very close. I would say the dish is a combo of sichuan and cantonese flavors 😍
My uncle taught me how to make this and it’s one of my favorite recipes to cook when I don’t have a lot of ingredients in the fridge. Also eating spicy and hot foods when it’s cold outside always makes me happy for some reason. Check full recipe in the blog or link in bio 🥵❤️‍🔥🌶

Sorry y’all for the lighting in the video. It’s cold and gloomy here in California. Hopefully weather gets better and we can have some golden ☀️ shots! Love you all and stay warm dumplings.
