Prep

  1. Make teriyaki sauce - Peel garlic. Scrape the skin off of the ginger with the side of a spoon. Combine brown sugar, Tamari, water, mirin, oil, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger in a blender or small food processor. Blend or pulse until well incorporated. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead and refrigerated)
  2. Shrimp - Defrost, rinse and pat dry. Combine with first part of the teriyaki sauce and marinate for at least 20 minutes or up to 1 day. (Can be done up to 1 day ahead)
  3. Green onions / Red onions / Carrots - Prep as directed. (Can be done up to 4 days ahead) [Prep notes: Red onions / Carrots can be packaged together]
  4. Basil / Sugar snap peas / Red peppers / Pineapple - Prep as directed. (Can be done up to 3 days ahead) [Prep notes: Sugar snap peas / Red peppers can be packaged together]
  5. Cook rice - Double if making Wednesday’s meal. For white rice, rinse until clear. Fill a saucepan or Dutch oven (or rice cooker) with rice, water (use 2:1 ratio for water to rice), and some salt. Cover with lid and bring to a boil. Once water boils, stir, lower heat to a low-medium, and cover. Check white rice after ~20 min; brown at ~45 min. Rice is done when it's absorbed all the water. If it's not done, leave the cover on until all water has been absorbed. Take cover off to release steam and fluff with a wooden spoon after 5 minutes. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
