Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- 1 cup snap peas
Sauce
- 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
Instructions
- Prepare Vegetables: Wash and chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets, peel and slice the carrots into thin pieces, and trim the snap peas if needed.
- Heat the Pan: Place a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add a small amount of sesame oil to prevent sticking and add flavor.
- Stir-Fry Vegetables: Add broccoli, carrots, and snap peas to the hot skillet. Stir continuously for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables become tender-crisp but still retain a bit of crunch.
- Add Teriyaki Sauce: Pour the teriyaki sauce over the cooked vegetables in the pan. Toss well to coat all the vegetables evenly with the sauce and cook for another 1-2 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- Serve: Remove from heat and transfer the stir-fry to plates or bowls. Optionally, garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions for extra texture that complements the dish.
Notes
- For more protein, consider adding tofu or edamame to the stir-fry.
- You can substitute teriyaki sauce with a homemade mix of soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and a touch of sweetener.
- Adjust the amount of sesame oil to taste, using more for a richer sesame flavor.
- Serve with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
- Ensure vegetables are not overcooked to maintain their vibrant color and crunch.
