How to build the most Epic Easy Vegan Teriyaki Bowl oil-free, homemade, plant-based and totally delicious! Soy-free and gluten-free! This is the perfect quick and easy throw together weeknight meal!

VEGAN TERIYAKI BOWL

This is the most epic vegan Teriyaki Bowl recipe! I seriously could eat this daily. I love all things Teriyaki, especially this twist Teriyaki Sweet Potato Bowl with a really unique sauce.

I love it when a recipe is totally packed with flavor, veggies, nutritious, is oil-free but so good, anybody would love it! My vegan gluten-free Teriyaki sauce has been a reader favorite for years, it is even included in my cookbook.

However, I’ve never actually posted a fully written vegan Teriyaki bowl how-to before, so it was time. I am sharing the ingredients I think makes the most delicious vegetarian Teriyaki bowl ever!

INGREDIENTS NEEDED

Full details and measurements on the recipe card below.

  • Teriyaki Sauce: I highly recommend my homemade vegan Teriyaki Sauce, as it’s incredible, a reader-favorite and very quick and easy to make. It is also soy-free. But you could always use store-bought if you like. I’ve just not tried it with any store-bought.
  • Cooked rice: Use any kind you like. I love white Jasmine rice the most with Teriyaki.
  • Red bell pepper
  • Thai Chili peppers: This is a secret ingredient that takes this bowl next level. These are hot. But they can vary in their level of heat. I used 3, one red, one green and one yellow and it made this epic and spicy, but use only 1 if you are sensitive! They add a lovely dimension of flavor, so I wouldn’t omit, but you can always add some fresh on top for more heat at the end.
  • Broccoli florets
  • Frozen carrots and peas: Using frozen helps this meal to come together super fast and they taste great.
  • Green onions
  • Toasted sesame seeds

HOW TO MAKE A VEGAN TERIYAKI BOWL

Step 1: Prepare my homemade Teriyaki sauce first and let it cool a few minutes before starting the recipe

Step 2: Add the water to a large sauce pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the bell pepper and cook, stirring often, 5 minutes.

Step 3: Add the Thai chili peppers and broccoli and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often. Only add more water if needed, but you shouldn’t need any, as the veggies release water.

Step 4: Add the prepared Teriyaki sauce and the peas/carrot mixture and stir to coat everything well.

Step 5: Cover with a lid and steam for just 3-5 minutes until the broccoli is tender, but not mushy.

Step 6: Serve with cooked rice and top the bowls with extra Teriyaki sauce if desired. Garnish with green onion and sesame seeds.

Servings 2 large servings

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (120g) of my homemade Teriyaki Sauce prepared
  • 3 cups cooked rice of choice, I used white Jasmine
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 large red bell pepper, roughly chopped
  • 1 -3 Thai chili peppers, finely sliced (see NOTES below)
  • 4 cups (246g) fresh broccoli florets, cut in similar sizes
  • 1 cup (105g) frozen carrots/peas mixture
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
  • I use this scale.

Instructions
 

  • First, prepare my homemade Teriyaki sauce and let it cool a few minutes before starting the recipe. Prepare the rice as well so you can eat everything as soon as it's done cooking. NOTE: You will only be using 1/2 cup of the sauce to cook the veggies in and will have a bit leftover for drizzling or leftovers.
  • Add the water to a large sauce pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the bell pepper and cook, stirring often, 5 minutes.
  • Add the Thai chili peppers and broccoli and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often. Only add more water if needed, but you shouldn't need any, as the veggies release water and you don't want to make the broccoli soggy.
  • Add the 1/2 cup of prepared Teriyaki sauce and peas/carrot mixture. Stir everything together well so the sauce coats all the veggies.
  • Cover with a lid and steam for just 3-5 minutes until the broccoli is tender, but not mushy. Watch closely.
  • Serve with cooked rice and top the bowls with extra Teriyaki sauce if desired. I found it plenty flavorful and didn't need any extra, but it's up to you. Garnish with green onion and sesame seeds.

Notes

THAI CHILI PEPPERS: I used 3 chili peppers and it was SPICY as could be. I used 1 red, 1 green and 1 yellow (as pictured above) and they average 1-2 inches long. I loved it, but hubby and daughter coughed, haha. The peppers are a lovely addition and depth of flavor and one of my secret ingredients, so I wouldn't omit it, but start with one or 2 if sensitive. You can always add some fresh on top for more heat at the end if you'd like it more spicy. I bought mine at Sprouts in a container, which comes with a lot. Wash and store extra in the freezer and they will last a long time.

    Epic is an understatement for the “Epic Vegan teriyaki bowl”. It was over the top amazing. My husband and both enjoyed this recipe for dinner last night. The Thai chili peppers are a flavorful add. we were also very pleased with the homemade teriyaki sauce. I will definitely be making the sauce again to pour over veggies and create other bowls in the future. Thank you for sharing your delicious recipes!

    What can I sub for the Thai chili peppers? We love “heat”, but I cannot find fresh or even dried Thai chili peppers in our local supermarkets. We don’t have a Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s unfortunately.
    Thank you!

      Hi, you could use jalapeño or just some cayenne!

    Looks so good! I’ve made your teriyaki sauce before
    But while it’s perfect for my family, it’s a little
    Too sweet for my tastebuds. Any suggestions to tone down the sweetness level?

      Hi Rae, you can reduce the syrup by a tablespoon or two if you prefer!
