Ingredients
- 450 grams Chicken breast (or tofu for a vegetarian option)
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 cup Carrots, julienned
- 1 large Red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup Snow peas
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil (vegetable or canola)
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, minced
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 0.25 cup Water
- 3 cups Cooked rice (optional for serving)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional for garnish)

Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. If using tofu, press and cube it.
Prepare the vegetables: trim the broccoli into bite-sized florets, julienne the carrots, slice the bell pepper, and remove the strings from snow peas if necessary.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, minced ginger, cornstarch, and water to create the teriyaki sauce. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken pieces (or tofu) to the pan and cook until golden brown and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of cooking oil to the skillet. Add the broccoli, carrots, bell pepper, and snow peas. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked chicken (or tofu) to the skillet with the vegetables.
Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly and allow the sauce to thicken for about 2-3 minutes.
Drizzle sesame oil over the stir-fry for added flavor. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve the teriyaki stir fry immediately over cooked rice, if desired.
Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for an extra touch.
