Teriyaki Pork Bowl

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: low-sodium soy sauce

💰Cheaper: tamari

Low-sodium soy sauce reduces sodium intake while tamari is gluten-free.

mirin

🥗Healthier: rice vinegar + sugar

💰Cheaper: white wine

Rice vinegar + sugar mimics mirin's sweetness at a lower cost.

chicken

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: pork

Tofu is plant-based and lower in calories, while pork can be less expensive.

sesame seeds

🥗Healthier: pumpkin seeds

💰Cheaper: sunflower seeds

Pumpkin seeds provide similar crunch and flavor, while sunflower seeds are often cheaper.

Cook rice according to package instructions and set aside.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add chicken to the skillet and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

In a bowl, mix soy sauce, mirin, sugar, ginger, and garlic to create the teriyaki sauce.

Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken and simmer for 3-4 minutes until thickened.

Add broccoli, carrots, bell pepper, and snap peas to the skillet.

Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp.

Serve the teriyaki chicken and vegetables over a bed of rice.

Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
