How to Make Benihana Vegetable Mix Saute

  1. **Make the Teriyaki Sauce:** In a small saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons mirin, 2 tablespoons sake (or dry sherry), 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon grated ginger.
  2. **Simmer the Sauce:** Bring the teriyaki sauce to a simmer over low heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  3. **Prep the Vegetables:** While the sauce cools, prepare your vegetables. Chop 1 cup broccoli florets, 1/2 cup sliced carrots, 1/2 cup sliced bell peppers (any color), and 1/2 cup snow peas.
  4. **Stir-fry the Vegetables:** Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add broccoli, carrots, and bell peppers. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until slightly softened.
  5. **Add Remaining Vegetables:** Add snow peas, 1/4 cup sliced mushrooms, 2 green onions (sliced), and 1 cup bean sprouts. Stir-fry for another 2 minutes.
  6. **Combine & Finish:** Pour the cooled teriyaki sauce over the vegetables. Stir-fry for 1 minute, until everything is heated through and well coated.
  7. **Garnish & Serve:** Garnish with sesame seeds (optional) and serve immediately over rice or noodles. Enjoy your restaurant-quality Benihana vegetable stir-fry!
