Flavorful Teriyaki Chicken Stir-Fry Recipe

Making the Teriyaki Sauce

In a small bowl whisk together the soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisking ensures the honey dissolves fully and the sauce becomes uniform. Set aside; the sauce will thicken later when it meets the heat of the pan.

Cooking the Stir‑Fry

1. Heat the Wok. Place a large wok or skillet over medium‑high heat for 2‑3 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and swirl to coat. The surface should shimmer but not smoke, indicating the ideal temperature for searing.
2. Sear the Chicken. Add the chicken strips in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd. Let them cook undisturbed for 2‑3 minutes until a deep amber crust forms. Flip and cook another 2 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate and keep warm.
3. Stir‑Fry the Vegetables. Reduce heat to medium, add the remaining tablespoon of oil, then toss in the broccoli, bell pepper, snap peas, and carrot. Stir continuously for 3‑4 minutes; the vegetables should stay crisp‑tender and retain vibrant color.
4. Combine Sauce & Protein. Return the chicken to the wok, pour the prepared teriyaki sauce over everything, and stir to coat. Bring to a gentle simmer; as bubbles form, the sauce will thicken. Cook for another 2‑3 minutes, allowing the glaze to cling to each piece.
5. Finish & Garnish. Remove the wok from heat. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the top. Give the dish a final toss so the garnish distributes evenly.

Serving

Spoon the teriyaki chicken stir‑fry over a bed of steamed jasmine rice or quinoa. Serve immediately while the glaze is glossy and the vegetables retain their crunch. A light drizzle of extra sauce from the pan adds a final burst of flavor.
