Preparation
  1. Start by cutting the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and measuring out your mixed vegetables.
Cooking
  1. In a large pan or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces to the pan in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken is nicely browned and cooked through.
  2. Once the chicken is cooked, stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Toss in the mixed vegetables. Stir-fry everything together for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp and vibrant.
  4. Add the teriyaki sauce to the pan, stirring well to coat the chicken and vegetables evenly. Let it simmer for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Serve your Teriyaki Chicken Stir Fry over a bed of cooked rice or noodles, garnished with a sprinkle of sesame seeds if desired.
