Step-by-Step Instructions for Teriyaki Stir Fry
Let me guide you through this quick and savory teriyaki stir fry recipe using Kikkoman sauce.
👨🍳 Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Start by preparing all the ingredients according to the list. I like to have everything ready before I start cooking, as this dish comes together quickly. Slice the 1 lb Chicken Breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside. Prepare the vegetables: slice the 2 whole Bell Peppers, measure out 2 cups Broccoli Florets, slice 1 cup Snow Peas, and julienne 1 cup Carrots. Mince 3 cloves Garlic Cloves and grate 1 tbsp Ginger. Having everything ready will make the stir-frying process smooth and efficient.
Make sure to have the 0.75 cup Kikkoman Teriyaki Sauce ready to pour into the stir-fry. This sauce is the star of the dish, providing that signature sweet and savory teriyaki flavor. Using a high-quality sauce like Kikkoman ensures that your stir-fry tastes authentic and delicious.
🍳 Step 2: Cook the Chicken and Vegetables
Heat 1 tablespoon of Sesame Oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes until it’s browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside. In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of Sesame Oil. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced bell peppers, broccoli florets, snow peas, and carrots to the pan. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp. You want them to retain some crunch, so be careful not to overcook. The vegetables should be vibrant in color and still have a bit of bite.
🥘 Step 3: Combine and Finish the Stir Fry
Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the vegetables. Pour in the 0.75 cup Kikkoman Teriyaki Sauce and stir everything together to coat. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly and everything is well coated. The sauce should be glossy and cling to the chicken and vegetables.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Transfer the teriyaki stir-fry to a serving platter or individual plates over 2 cups Cooked Rice. Garnish with 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds and 0.25 cup chopped Green Onions. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy the delicious flavors of this quick and easy teriyaki stir-fry.

Tips & Tricks for Perfect Teriyaki Stir Fry
Here are my top tips to help you nail this quick and savory teriyaki stir fry recipe using Kikkoman sauce.
Vegetable Preparation: To ensure even cooking, try to cut all the vegetables to a similar size. For Step 2, make sure your bell peppers, broccoli, snow peas, and carrots are all sliced or cut into bite-sized pieces. This helps them cook uniformly and prevents some from being undercooked while others are overcooked.
Cooking Technique: When cooking the chicken in Step 2, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary, to ensure the chicken browns properly. This browning adds depth of flavor to the dish. Also, keep the heat at medium-high to achieve that perfect stir-fry texture.
Sauce Simmering: In Step 3, when you add the Kikkoman Teriyaki Sauce, let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken. This ensures the sauce coats the chicken and vegetables nicely. If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can mix a little cornstarch with water and add it to the sauce before simmering. 🌡️
Garnishing: Just before serving, garnish with 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds and 0.25 cup chopped Green Onions. This adds a nice crunch and freshness to the dish. You can also add other garnishes like sliced chilies or cilantro if you like.
