If you need a quick and easy recipe that you can make on a busy weeknight, try this amazing Vegetables Teriyaki stir fry! You can use pretty much any of your favorite veggies, and cook them in a delicious sweet and tangy sauce. Serve it over some rice and top with sesame seeds and chopped green onion.

This sauce recipe is similar to the sauce in my Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry and Easy Mongolian Beef. Also, you can easily adjust it to your liking (make it more spicy or thicker, or even add more ginger).

Why you will love this recipe

  • Quick and easy to make. This 30 minute meal needs the minimum amount of prep work and takes just minutes to cook. It’s very easy to put it together on a busy weeknight or a lazy weekend.

What is teriyaki

While many people think that teriyaki is a type of sauce, it’s actually a cooking technique that is used in Japanese cuisine. This technique involves some type of meat, fish, or vegetables being cooked with a glaze, made of soy sauce, mirin (or rice vinegar), and sugar.

Ingredients and Substitution

  • Vegetables. While in this recipe I used broccoli, carrots, red bell pepper, and snow peas, you really can use pretty much any vegetables you have on hands. Some of my favorites are mushrooms, zucchini, yellow squash, red onion, baby corn, and green beans.
  • Cornstarch. It helps to thicken the sauce. Depending on how think you want the sauce to be, you can add more or less of cornstarch.
  • Soy Sauce. Make sure you use low sodium soy sauce. It will make the dish more balanced. For gluten-free option, use Tamari sauce.
  • Rice vinegar. Both rice vinegar and mirin will work well in this recipe.
  • Ginger. This recipe requires fresh ginger. Ground ginger will not work.
  • Garlic. Use fresh garlic and mince it or finely chop before adding to the mixture.
  • Add protein. You can easily add some chicken, beef, or seafood to this recipe. Just make sure to precook it before mixing with veggies and the sauce.

Then pour in the sauce, stir everything an let cook for another 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens and the vegetables are fully cooked.

Tips for best results

  • Make the sauce ahead of time. If you want to make the sauce ahead of time, you can just mix all the sauce ingredients and simmer them in a sauce pan for 5-7 minutes or until it gets thicker. Then transfer to a jar or a container and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Use Low Sodium soy sauce. Make sure you use LOW SODIUM soy sauce, so the dish will be more balanced.
  • Add a touch of spice. I like my teriyaki sauce to be a bit spicy and add ¼ tsp red pepper flakes to the sauce mixture.

How to serve vegetables teriyaki?

You can serve it with white rice (check out my recipe for How to cook white rice in Instant pot) and top with sesame seeds and chopped green onion.

Can I use frozen vegetables?

You can, but they will be a bit soggy. Because I prefer my veggies to have stay a bit firm, I always suggest to use fresh vegetables.

    Veggie rice dishes are always my go-to for quick dinners. This Teriyaki one definitely didn’t disappoint! The flavors were amazing and the veggies stayed crispy and delicious. I often use frozen vegetables but spending extra five minutes chopping up my own is definitely worth it.
