Teriyaki Stir-Fried Vegetables

Fresh veggies are simply the best! We had a bunch of fresh veggies, so I decided to make a veggie stir fry.
I love stir fry recipes because you can change them each time you make them. This time we had fresh broccoli, carrots, yellow onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper. If we had mushrooms or zucchini, I would have included them as well. I think zucchini is delicious when you saute it.

This recipe is simple and really would go well with almost anything. I cooked up some thin sliced center cut pork chops that were marinated in a simple soy sauce marinade and some brown rice. We had sliced peaches on the side.

For those doing weight watchers, 1 serving of these veggies is 2 points plus.

Teriyaki Stir-Fried Vegetables
Serves 4

Ingredients:
1 medium to large green bell pepper, sliced
1 medium to large red bell pepper, sliced
1 medium yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 medium onion, sliced - red or yellow would work
carrots, sliced into coins - I just buy the bag of fresh carrots that are already sliced up
1 pound fresh broccoli florets, chopped
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup low sodium teriyaki sauce - I use kikkoman
soy sauce - optional

Directions:
-Heat a wok or a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add the olive oil.
-Once the pan is hot, add all your veggies to the skillet. You will only cook these veggies for a short time because you are cooking them at a high heat.
-Season with pepper or garlic powder to taste.
-Saute the veggies until they are crisp-tender. I cooked the veggies for 5 minutes.
-Once the veggies are almost finished, add your teriyaki sauce and combine thoroughly.
-Serve a portion on a plate and top with a small amount of soy sauce

Enjoy! :)
