Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked white or brown rice
- 8 ounces Vegetarian chicken strips (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup Broccoli florets
- 1 medium Carrot, julienned
- 1 medium Bell pepper, sliced thinly
- 1 cup Snow peas
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce (use low-sodium for a healthier option)

- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch

Instructions
Prepare the rice according to package instructions if it’s not already cooked. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, cornstarch, and 1 cup of water to create the teriyaki sauce. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add broccoli, carrots, bell pepper, and snow peas. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Remove the vegetables and set them aside.
In the same skillet or wok, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the vegetarian chicken strips and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until they are lightly browned and heated through.
Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce into the skillet with the vegetarian chicken. Stir well and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Add the sautéed vegetables back into the skillet with the vegetarian chicken and teriyaki sauce. Toss to combine and coat everything evenly in the sauce.
To assemble the rice bowls, divide the cooked rice between two serving bowls. Top each bowl with the teriyaki vegetarian chicken and vegetable mixture.
Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
