    Why you will love it

    • Cheaper and quicker than takeout - You you are craving a takeaway, why not throw this together with whatever vegetables you have in the fridge. It's quicker and you will save yourself some money.
    • Totally easy to adapt - Use this recipe as a guide and adapt it with whatever you have that needs using up, so nothing goes to waste.
    • Ready in just 10 minutes - It's as quick as it takes to cook the vegetables.

    Ingredients needed

    • Bell peppers - We used red and green, but any colours will work. You can either dice them or cut them in to strip. Save some time and use frozen peppers.
    • Onions - You could use frozen onion too. We used red onion, but brown onion works too. Add some sweetness by using shallots instead.
    • Baby corn - You can cut this in to chunks or strips.
    • Green beans - These add lots of crunch and some green colour. You could use asparagus instead if you prefer.
    • Mushrooms - These add a lovely meaty texture. You could use standard chestnut mushrooms, or add some shiitake and oyster mushrooms for a mixture of texture.
    • Oil - You can use olive oil or vegetable oil. However, if you want some extra flavour then you can use sesame oil.
    • Honey - This is what adds the sweetness to the sauce. If you want it to be vegan, then swap it for maple syrup.
    • Soy sauce - We used a low salt soy sauce. If you wanted this to be gluten free, then you could swap it for tamari.
    • Garlic and ginger - Save yourself some time and use a couple of teaspoons of garlic and ginger paste in a jar. We always keep some in the fridge for making easy curries.
    • Lime - This really lightens the whole dish up and adds some freshness.

    A full ingredients list with measurements is in the recipe card below.

    Step by step

    One: Heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat. Add all of the vegetables and cook for 7 minutes.

    A frying pan containing chopped red onion, baby corn, green beans, bell peppers and mushrooms.

    Two: Mix together the ingredients for the sauce.

    A small wooden bowl containing a teriyaki sauce.

    Three: Once the vegetables have cooked, add the sauce, stir and gently cook for a further 2 minutes.

    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.

    Variations

    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 and my personal favourite is adding some tenderstem broccoli.

    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.

    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.

    What to serve with vegetable teriyaki

    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.

    If you are looking for some other ways to cook rice, then why not try our Oven Baked Rice or Easy Microwave Rice.

    If you didn't want to keep this vegetarian, then this goes really well with our Sweet Chilli Salmon.

    Storage

    Store: This vegetable teriyaki can be kept in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

    Freeze: You can freeze it, again in an air-tight container, and it will be good for up to 3 months.

    Defrost: Defrost in the fridge overnight.

    Reheat: To reheat, allow to defrost fully and then either microwave or heat in a frying pan with a little oil for a few minutes.

    FAQs

    Is vegetable teriyaki vegan?

    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.

    Are teriyaki vegetables gluten free?

    If you use tamari instead of soy sauce and make sure that there is no cross contamination, then this can be gluten free.

    Can you make teriyaki vegetables in advance?

    You can make the sauce up in advance and pre-chop all the vegetables to save you some time.

    Can I double this recipe?

    You can easily double this recipe and it doesn't change the cooking time. Just make sure that you have a big enough frying pan to hold double the ingredients.

    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.
    • For some spiciness, add some slices of fresh red chilli or a sprinkling of red chilli flakes before serving.
    • Add a little bit of extra sweetness to this dish by throwing in a small can of pineapple chunks at the same time as the sauce.
    • If you are using frozen vegetables, you will need to cook them a bit longer until the water that is released has evaporated.

      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.
