Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ½ cup water
- ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons mirin or rice vinegar
- 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 head broccoli
- 2 large carrots thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- 1 cup snow peas
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds for topping
- ½ cup green onion chopped, for topping
Instructions
- In a bowl, add 1 tbsp cornstarch and ½ cup water. Whisk well, so there are no any clumps left.
- Then add ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce, 2 tbsp Mirin or rice vinegar, 3 tbsp light brown sugar, 1 tsp grated ginger, and 2 minced garlic cloves. Whisk again and set aside.
- Preheat a large skillet over medium/low heat and add a tbsp olive oil.
- Add chopped broccoli, thinly sliced carrots, sliced red bell pepper, and snow peas. Cover with the lid and let them cook for a few minutes until become softer.
- 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.
- Top with sesame seeds and green onion and serve with a bowl of rice.
Notes
- 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 store. You can store it in an air-tight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
