Equipment

Skillet or pan

Ingredients

4 tablespoon coconut oil (or olive oil)
1 head broccoli, chopped
2 sweet bell peppers, chopped
1 batch of my homemade teriyaki sauce

Instructions

Place a large pan on the stove on medium high heat and add the coconut oil.
Once the coconut oil melts, turn the heat down to medium, add the broccoli and sauté for ~5 minutes.
Add the chopped peppers and sauté for another 2-3 minutes.
Add the teriyaki sauce and stir to coat the vegetables well.
Cook for another 5-10 minutes, until the vegetables are the consistency you desire.

Notes

Feel free to add other vegetables such as carrots or celery.
Optional topping ideas: sesame seeds or chopped nuts such as peanuts or cashews.
Instead of making your own teriyaki sauce you could use a store bought teriyaki sauce.
