This easy recipe for teriyaki vegetable stir fry comes together in just a few minutes and tastes better than takeout!
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!
Ingredients to make teriyaki stir fry vegetables
- yellow onion

- broccoli florets
- garlic: always fresh
- mushrooms: any variety will work

How to make teriyaki vegetables
Step 1: Add the olive oil to a large skillet and heat to medium high heat.
Add the onion, carrots, mushrooms, broccoli, and garlic to the skillet.
Cook the vegetables over medium heat for around 20-25 minutes, until softened.
Step 2: While the vegetables are cooking, prepare the homemade teriyaki sauce in a separate sauce pan.
Step 3: Once the vegetables have finished cooking, pour in the teriyaki sauce and stir to combine.
Note: this recipe is intended to be very sauce, which makes it perfect for serving over rice or noodles as there will be plenty of sauce to coat everything.
We love the mild and sweet flavor of teriyaki vegetables.
Even my kids loved it and one of them was licking sauce off the plate.
If you haven’t made teriyaki before at home this recipe is a great place to start!
It is really easier than it seems and tastes so delicious.

These teriyaki vegetables serve well over white rice for a traditional dish. Other options are brown rice, rice noodles, or ramen noodles.
