Healthy Teriyaki Vegetable Bowls

Teriyaki! It’s just so fun to say and it’s my saving grace for sushi. *GASP* I know, I don’t eat sushi. Are you all dying a little? It’s true. I find it odd and I don’t enjoy it. Yes, it’s true that I’ve only tried the California roll, but it wasn’t good and I don’t really get the raw fish thing so why would I try more? I can’t possibly be the only one out there, could I? Cade loves the stuff so if we go I always order one of the teriyaki chicken or teriyaki veggie bowls. They are so good!!

I wasn’t completely sure if you all would want a recipe for our teriyaki veggie bowls since it’s really nothing special, but for some reason we just love these things!

So, I got brave, posted a not so pretty picture on Instagram and asked if you all would be interested in the vegetable bowl recipe and good mercy, the answer was a loud yes!!

Just goes to show that I have no idea what people want. Sometimes I post a recipe that was crazy good and I feel like it doesn’t go as wild on Pinterest as I’d like. But then there are recipes like this teriyaki bowl that everyone loves! You guys, we make these teriyaki vegetables all the time and almost always serve them over rice. Quick and simple!

How to Make Teriyaki Veggie Bowls

Here’s a rundown of how we made the teriyaki vegetables and assembled the bowls: 

  1. Sauté the chopped vegetables in a mixture of garlic oil and butter. 
  2. Once tender, remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the homemade teriyaki sauce. 
  3. Serve the teriyaki veggies over rice and enjoy!

Tips for Making Teriyaki Veggie Bowls

Because the homemade teriyaki comes together in a minute or two, we don’t mind making a fresh batch every time we want teriyaki vegetables. But you’re welcome to use a store-bought teriyaki sauce or another Asian marinade, if desired. 

When cooking the teriyaki veggies, make sure your skillet is large enough that the vegetables will be sautéed rather than steamed. If the skillet is too small, the veggies will pile on top of each other and release lots of water. 

Lastly, if you can’t find garlic oil at your grocery store, you can make your own by mincing garlic into a bowl of neutral oil and allowing to sit for 30 minutes.

Instructions

  • As the butter melts down, add the veggies and stir-fry until tender, about 5 minutes. (Make sure your pan is big enough that they don't steam.)
