Instructions
- Place Teriyaki sauce ingredients into a deep pan/Wok and mix them together. Over medium high heat, bring the mixture to a simmer and mix it continually for 2-3 minutes, or until it’s nice and dark and thick. Set aside when it’s ready. Tip: mix the corn starch with some cool water separately before pouring in and not pouring the powder directly to avoid lumps.
- Heat a clean pan on medium high heat. Add the olive oil and allow it to heat through. Add your beef slices (season to your taste before stir frying for added flavour) and stir fry for 3 – 5 minutes till medium/well cooked. Add in your choice of veggies and add some stock cube and some salt and pepper to taste. Keep stirring occasionally till they are crisp tender. If the pan is too dry, you may add a tablespoon of water every couple of minutes to create a little bit of steam.
- Pour in the teriyaki sauce into your pan with your beef and veggies and cook stirring frequently for another 3/5 minutes. When everything has heated through, remove from the heat and serve immediately.

If you choose not to make your Teriyaki Sauce from scratch, you can buy a bottled one and heat up or use Hoisin Sauce (a bit saltier) or Oyster sauce as Teriyaki sauce (sweeter) is a thicker type of sauce. You can enjoy this sauce with Rice or Noodles.
