Update on 7/30/11: This food stand has a new banner. I will now call them "Rice Plate," as there is another teriyaki booth at the same Salem Farmer's Market.
Rice Plate, at the Salem's Farmer's Market, is a booth selling fried rice, yakisoba noodles, and teriyaki chicken. My interest piqued, I figured it was worth the time to check out.

I could tell right away the teriyaki chicken would be a hundred times better than what I got at Wild Pineapple Grill. This chicken was moist and flavorful -- and I wanted a whole plate of it. I fell in love with the sweetness in the teriyaki sauce. It nicely walked the line to make sure we were still in the savory realm, but it reminded me of the awesome flavors of Hawaii.
The yakisoba was cooked very well. The cabbage could have been cooked a bit more, but otherwise, pretty successful. Again, it looked like yakisoba I would get in Hawaii.
Trust me folks, having two components of a dish remind me of home is a big feat.
Second, the fried rice was average to me. It lacked flavor and did not make me want to eat more than a couple of bites. And third, I need the spice! I doused the plate of food with sriracha almost immediately.

Sriracha is the container with the green top. No, I did not use ALL that sriracha. |
