Notes:

• You can use store-bought teriyaki sauce or make a homemade sauce. For homemade teriyaki sauce just add water, soy sauce, brown sugar, ground ginger, and garlic powder together into a saucepan. Heat up for a couple of minutes. Add some cornstarch dissolved in water into the sauce to get a thicker consistency.

• You can opt to use vegetable broth or any other kind of broth if you do not want to use chicken broth.

• You can also switch out the vegetables for some other options such as chopped-up carrots, peas, bean spouts, spinach, broccoli, and bell peppers. Just keep in mind that the cooking time for the vegetables may vary.

• Jasmine rice can also be switched out for other types of rice such as brown rice, long grain, or basmati. 

• If drumsticks are not available or you want something boneless you can also change drumsticks into chicken breast, wings, or thighs if that’s what you prefer. Keep in mind the cooking time for the different parts of the chicken. Adjust your cooking time accordingly.

• You can also use this recipe with other meats and fish such as beef, pork, salmon, and even tofu if you have dietary restrictions. 

• For Japanese mayonnaise, the easiest one to find is probably Kewpie mayonnaise. You can find it in your Asian grocery store or maybe in the International aisle of your local supermarket.
