Stir fry recipes are one of my very favorite things.

From orange sauce to stir fry sauce to teriyaki sauce, I love creating takeout inspired recipes in my own home.

Some of my favorites include stir fry vegetables, orange cauliflower, teriyaki mushrooms, egg roll in a bowl, and this cabbage stir fry with sweet chili sauce.

Inspired by these recipes I set out to create a classic teriyaki vegetable recipe that is not only delicious, but easy to make!
