A quick and easy Teriyaki Broccoli recipe that's deliciously flavorful. Simple to assemble, and a great side dish served plain or with cooked rice or quinoa.

Ingredients

  • 7-8 cups broccoli florets (about 2 large bunches)
  • 3 medium carrots (about 1-1.5 cups sliced)
  • 1/4 cup tamari (or soy sauce)
  • 3 Tbsp. pure maple syrup (or brown sugar)
  • 1/3 cup vegetable broth or water
  • 2 tsp. rice vinegar (I use unseasoned)
  • 1-2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tsp. ginger, freshly grated
  • 1 Tbsp. cornstarch (or arrowroot or other thickener)
  • Cooked rice or quinoa, sesame seeds for garnish

Directions

  1. 1

    Make the teriyaki sauce: Combine all sauce ingredients in a small bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Cut broccoli into bite-sized florets. Slice carrots on a diagonal.

  3. 3

    In a large pan over medium-high heat, add broccoli, carrots, and 1/3 cup water. Cover and let steam/sauté for about 6-7 minutes or until veggies are crisp-tender. (Stir occasionally and add a splash more liquid if needed.)

  4. 4

    Then re-stir teriyaki sauce and add to pan.* Stir to combine. Heat for about 2-3 minutes or until sauce has slightly thickened.

  5. 5

    Serve with cooked rice/quinoa and garnish with sesame seeds if desired.
