Rice: white rice or a fragrant jasmine rice works best as it absorbs flavors without getting mushy
Chicken broth: good quality broth makes the base deeply savory and gives rice complexity
Soy sauce: choose low-sodium if you want to control saltiness it brings umami depth
Sesame oil: use toasted sesame oil for a nutty aroma and authentic Asian flavor
Garlic powder: a quick way to infuse mellow garlic notes throughout the rice
Shrimp: buy large peeled and deveined shrimp for ease and juicy texture
Teriyaki sauce: pick one with a short ingredient list or make your own for the brightest taste
Honey: a touch of sweetness balances the savory glaze and brings out the pineapple
Ginger: fresh is ideal for zing but jarred ginger works when you are in a hurry
Pineapple: use canned chunks packed in juice not syrup for best results or dice a ripe fresh pineapple for extra zing
