How to Make Teriyaki Veggie Stir Fry
This dish is really easy to make as it is, but I include a couple of tips below for making it even easier. No matter which directions you follow though, you’ll have a satisfying vegetarian dinner on the table in under 15 minutes.
Step 1 – Make the Sauce
First, stir together soy sauce, sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil and pepper in a small bowl. If you don’t have these ingredients on hand, you can use bottled teriyaki sauce
. You’ll need 1/4 cup of the bottled sauce plus another tablespoon.
Step 2 – Parboil the Noodles
Next, put two packages of Ramen Noodles
in a pot of boiling water for 1-2 minutes. Make sure you don’t cook them all the way. You just want them soft enough to separate the noodles.
Drain and rinse the noodles with cold water.
Step 3 – Stir Fry
Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat and then add some cooking oil (I use extra virgin olive oil but you can also use canola oil or vegetable oil). Let the oil heat up for 1-2 minutes.
Then add spinach, julienned carrots, sliced bell pepper, sliced mushrooms and minced garlic to the pan and saute for 2-3 minutes. When the vegetables are slightly tender, add the snow peas and green onions and continue cooking for another minute.
Want to skip the veggie slicing? Use a package of your favorite frozen stir fry vegetables instead.
Now, add the noodles and sauce and turn up the heat. Cook for a minute or two, until the sauce has thickened and coated the noodles. Serve immediately.
