Teriyaki Vegetable Stir Fry is a quick and tasty answer to what's for dinner. Delicious vegan teriyaki sauce is paired with stir fry veggies for a great meal, even on busy weeknights.
Whisk together water and arrowroot powder to form a slurry. Heat tamari, vinegar and maple syrup in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Whisk in the arrowroot mixture and the red pepper flakes. Continue to whisk for about 3 minutes as the sauce thickens. Turn off heat and set aside until vegetables are finished.
Stir Fry
Prep ginger by peeling and mincing. Same with garlic. Thinly slice scallions. Cut all veggies into bite sized pieces.
Heat a large wok, or your largest frying pan over medium-high heat. Swirl in 1 tablespoon of the oil and start with your hardest veggies. For me, that was the carrots, broccoli stalks and quartered brussels sprouts. Use tongs to toss and continue for about 2 minutes.
Next, add the broccoli florets, red pepper strips, mushrooms, zucchini, snow peas. Continue to toss and cook until veggies are tender, but still al dente.
Add the scallions, ginger, garlic and remaining tablespoon oil. Reduce heat and stir constantly until fragrant and thoroughly mixed. Turn off heat.
Reheat the teriyaki sauce, giving it a quick whisk and then pour half onto the stir fry vegetables.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve over rice or noodles.
