Ginger — 2 teaspoons, (minced)
Broccoli — ¼ cup, (floret)
Bell peppers- ¼ cup, (diced)
Spring Onion — 2, (white and green part separately diced)

Vinegar — 1 teaspoons
Ingredients for Homemade Teriyaki Sauce
Low sodium Soy Sauce — 1/2 cup
Honey — 1/4 cup
Garlic — 3 large cloves, minced
Ginger — 1 teaspoon, minced
Vinegar — 1.5 teaspoon
Chilli Flakes — 1/2 teaspoon
Cornflour — 1 teaspoon
Water — 1/2 cup
To prepare teriyaki sauce, take a medium saucepan, add cornflour and cold water, and mix them well to make a slurry and keep it aside. Now, combine other ingredients in pan, soya sauce, honey, garlic, Ginger chilli flakes and cook on medium flame continuously, lastly, add your slurry slowly until the sauce thickens up.
(Sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.)
Take a non-stick skillet, now, sweat the white part of the spring onion, add some ginger, garlic cloves, and olive oil until translucent. Let these ingredients absorb some oil for a minute or two. Now, add all the vegetables and sauté for 5-6 minutes until soft. You can use vegetables of your
choice, but bell paper, broccoli, and mushrooms typically give a good combined flavour.
Take a vessel, add sushi rice and teriyaki sauce, mix them well. Let it fry on high heat, constantly keep tossing to ensure rice is stir-fried, and the sauce coats all the veggies and rice. Add one tablespoon of water if needed, to ensure the rice doesn’t clump or stick. Add vinegar and butter at the end to ensure creaminess. Check for the salt and also add black pepper.
Plating is very important in this dish, as it needs to be presented in the way it deserves. So for that take a bowl, oil it slightly, pour your cooked rice and press them with little pressure using a spoon. Tightly pack the rice for approximately 5 minutes. Unmold it on a clean plate. You can garnish it with green onion and sesame.
