  • 1 ½ cups teriyaki sauce
  • 4 cups cooked rice (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice: Prepare 1½ cups of rice according to package directions using a rice cooker or stovetop method. Set aside once cooked.
  2. Prep the vegetables: Shred 1 cup of carrots, chop 1 ½ cups of onion, mince 3 garlic cloves, and chop 2 cups of broccoli into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.

  6. Add teriyaki sauce: Pour 1 ½ cups teriyaki sauce over the mixture and stir well to coat. Cook an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce is heated through and flavors meld together.
