Stir-fry dishes are a quick and delicious way to enjoy a healthy meal. This Teriyaki Stir-Fry with Mixed Vegetables recipe is perfect for busy weeknights or when you want a flavorful, nutritious dinner in minutes.
Ingredients Needed
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, snap peas)
- 1 pound chicken, beef, or tofu, sliced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- Cooked rice or noodles for serving
Step-by-Step Instructions
Start by preparing your ingredients. Slice the vegetables and protein of choice into bite-sized pieces. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger to make the teriyaki sauce.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced protein and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the mixed vegetables. Stir-fry for about 3-5 minutes until they are tender-crisp. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the vegetables and stir well to coat evenly.
Return the cooked protein to the skillet and toss everything together. Cook for another 2 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Serve hot over rice or noodles.
Tips for Success
- Use a variety of colorful vegetables for visual appeal and nutrients.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey or brown sugar.
