One of my most popular recipes is my Asian Vegetable Stir Fry. The appeal of making a stir fry for dinner is an easy one to understand. All kinds of veggies and sometimes a protein added in– with a simple sauce. And it’s all cooked in one hot skillet in a short amount of time. A stir fry can be served over white rice, brown rice, fried rice, cauliflower rice or Asian noodles. If you’re looking for an all-veggie stir fry, try my Three Pea Stir Fry. And if you are working with pork, try my Thai Pork Stir Fry. This Teriyaki Chicken Stir Fry is everyone’s favorite stir fry. It’s an easy and delicious, family-friendly dinner recipe.
Stir Fry Ingredients:
oil chicken onion red bell pepper carrot broccoli sugar snap peas
Teriyaki Sauce Ingredients:
chicken broth soy sauce rice vinegar brown sugar garlic ginger cornstarch
How to make Teriyaki Sauce:
Teriyaki sauce is definitely something that you can always buy at the store. But if you’ve ever made it homemade then you know how much more delicious it is than the commercial bottled versions. It’s so easy to make teriyaki sauce. Just combine all of the ingredients (chicken broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, ginger and cornstarch) in a bowl and whisk them together.
How to grate fresh ginger:
Fresh ginger is stringy and it can be difficult to grate! I have a solution. Peel the ginger with a potato peeler and then pop it into the freezer until firm. It will be so much easier to grate when it’s frozen, and the good news is that you can store your leftover fresh ginger in a zip baggie in your freezer! Use the fine grate on your grater to grate the ginger.
How to make Teriyaki Chicken Stir Fry:
Oil is added to a large skillet or wok over high heat. Chicken chunks are then browned in the oil. Onion, bell pepper and carrot are added in and stir-fried for a few minutes. Broccoli florets and teriyaki sauce are added to the skillet, and you will continue to stir fry for a couple more minutes. Finally, add sugar snap peas and cook for a few more minutes. That’s it. The sauce will thicken up while stir frying, and the veggies will soften slightly.
Vegetable Substitutions:
Mix things up and add/substitute sliced mushrooms, zucchini, snow peas, shredded cabbage or bean sprouts. For those who are eating super healthy and light, the stir fry can be eaten on its own. If you happen to be following the WW diet plan, you’ll count 6 blue, 6 purple or 9 green points for one serving of this Chicken Teriyaki Stir Fry (this recipe divided into four servings). If you’re not following any kind of eating plan, go ahead and serve this over hot, steamed rice. It’ll be a family favorite for dinner, and it might just go on the repeater list too.
