Tips & Notes
Pour any leftover teriyaki sauce over the finished bowl for extra flavor.
For fluffy scrambled eggs: Quickly stir the eggs as soon as they hit the pan and remove from the heat while still soft. The residual heat will finish cooking them.
For extra fluffiness, add a little milk or mayonnaise to the eggs before cooking (optional).
