- noodles (like udon or soba)
- sesame oil
- vegetable oil

Instructions
- First, gather all your ingredients. Slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces, chop your vegetables, and have your sauce ready. This makes the cooking process smoother.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat about 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken pieces. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed, and toss in your vegetables. Start with the ones that take longer to cook, such as carrots and broccoli. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, then add the bell peppers and snap peas. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until they are vibrant and tender-crisp.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in your teriyaki sauce, stirring to coat everything evenly. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and everything is heated through.
- Now, it’s time to serve! Spoon your stir fry over a bed of rice or noodles. Top it off with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and chopped green onions for that extra flavor and crunch. Enjoy your homemade Teriyaki Chicken Stir Fry Bowl!

Keywords: For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken in teriyaki sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Stir-frying should be done over high heat to achieve that nice sear and to keep the vegetables crisp. Customize with seasonal vegetables or swap chicken for shrimp, beef, or tofu for variety.
