Sometimes it just has to be hearty!
It’s not just us who feel like this now and then. We are all the more pleased when we can simply cover a colorful variation in terms of taste with our purely plant-based recipes.
Thanks to this super simple recipe for a vegan teriyaki sauce, we can easily and quickly prepare an Asian classic ourselves at home.
The best part is that you can cook and store the sauce well in advance. Either a few days in the refrigerator or several weeks in the freezer.
It’s also great that leftovers of vegetables or pre-cooked rice can be perfectly applied to such dishes.
If you like it particularly wholesome, you should use brown rice or whole grain rice.
But you should make sure that fried rice with teriyaki sauce is better prepared with grainy rice varieties.
If the rice is too sticky, the fried rice is sure to be tasty, but it may be less enjoyable on the tongue.
So cook conventional rice a little shorter than longer.
If you want to add a bit of protein to the rice,
you can marinate tempeh or tofu beforehand in the same sauce and fry it.
