Notes

DON'T overcook the eggs. Only cook them to the recommended 3/4's doneness. They won't be undercooked- residual heat will finish them while they sit.
You can sub store bought teriyaki sauce for the sauce ingredients.
Like things on the saucier side? You can add extra sauce to your liking, but taste the finished rice first.
