Wise Company – Teriyaki Chicken and Rice
Overall Rating:
Riding the dusty ATV trails of East Fort Rock Oregon on a dirt bike can be a physical challenge. It parches the throat and builds up quite the appetite. The idea of a meal of Wise Company’s Teriyaki Chicken and Rice for lunch was prominent in my mind.
Unfortunately, the low-quality ingredients, undercooked rice, and too sweet sauce that tasted nothing like teriyaki at all, left me utterly disappointed. This meal was so poor I couldn’t even finish it.

Preparation
Preparation
Begin by boiling two cups of water. While you’re waiting, remove the oxygen absorber from the meal and thoroughly shake the dry contents in order to pre-mix them. Once the water is boiling, simply add it to the dry contents, stir and wait 15+ minutes.
- Simple and easy to understand instructions.
- We found that the rehydration time was inadequate.

This lack luster take on a classic teriyaki dish left a lot to be desired. The vegetables lacked any taste at all and might as well not have been there. Despite extending the time for rehydration, 90% of the rice was either chewy or still hard. Even more disappointing was the “teriyaki” sauce that tasted like a sickly-sweet sugar coating that only got worse with time and left us unable to finish the meal.
- The rice was either chewy or still hard after an extended rehydration time.
- Poor quality ingredients.
- Sweet sauce tasted nothing like teriyaki.
