What is teriyaki?
Teriyaki is actually a cooking method used in Japanese cuisine, but the word has now become synonymous with the dark sauce you see here and in shops. Traditionally it is made with soy sauce, sake (or mirin), sugar and ginger.
Recipes vary and for this one we have used honey instead of sugar, to help thicken it and added garlic. We have omitted the sake/mirin as we wanted it to be alcohol free.
What other vegetables to add
You can add absolutely any vegetables you like to this, but if you want to keep it a quick dish, choose quicker cooking vegetables. Courgette (zucchini) and aubergine (eggplant) would both work really well.
Harder vegetables, such as carrot, butternut squash and sweet potato will work, but may need par boiling first. You could even wilt some spinach in at the end for a green boost.
Added protein
We love a veggie packed dish and certainly don't think that this is lacking anything. However, if you wanted to add some extra protein, you could cook some chunks of chicken first, or even king prawns or salmon. If you wanted to keep it vegetarian/vegan, then tofu would be a great addition.
Vegan teriyaki sauce
This Teriyaki sauce can easily be made vegan - simply swap the honey for maple syrup. As maple syrup is sweeter than honey, you will need to add it slowly, tasting until you have reached your preferred sweetness level.
What to serve this with
Stir fried veggies and rice are pretty much the perfect match. You could make our Healthy Egg Fried rice to go with this, or even Turmeric Rice for a colour boost.
FAQs
This vegetable teriyaki can be kept in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. You can freeze it, again in an air-tight container, and it will be good for up to 3 months. To reheat, allow to defrost fully and then either microwave or heat on the hob for a few minutes.
Extra tips
- Make this vegan by swapping the honey for maple syrup
- You can add any vegetable you like to this, but try to use quick cooking ones
- You can make this gluten free by using a gluten free soy sauce or by using tamari instead of soy. Tamari is thicker than Soy, so use less honey or add a little water.
- Add a little sprinkle of sesame seeds and even some chopped cashews over it before serving.

I made this for a birthday party last night and everyone loved it! I did swap out some of the veggies to fit the birthday girl’s tastes, but I made the sauce exactly as written and it was perfect. I did decide to bake the veggies in a dish for 45 minutes and then added the sauce for the last 5, which really just made a watery sauce at the bottom, but no one cared as the veggies were still Al dente and the flavor was amazing. I would recommend following the recipe as is, but switch out veggies if you want to.
