## Equipment

- slow cooker

## Tips

- Serve over steamed sushi rice with spicy mayo & green onions
- Serve over 50-50 blend of rice & cauliflower rice for higher volume option
- Make low calorie tacos with Jicama wraps
- Make lettuce wraps, top with kimchi and spicy mayo
- Highly recommend using chicken thighs over chicken breasts
- If you have to use breasts, reduce cook time to 2-3 hours
- If the recipe comes out too “liquidy” - you can remove the liquid from the crock pot and simmer in a pan until reduced/thick
- Letting it sit for a bit and cool is all you need to do (transferring to a separate bowl will speed up the process)
- If you want to make more traditional teriyaki, use the same marinade ingredients and simmer the liquid in a pan until thickened (you’ll only need ~1/2 the cornstarch), marinade the chicken for a few hours, then sear/grill over high heat and baste with additional teriyaki sauce
