This delicious Teriyaki Black Bean Stir-Fry is bursting with sweet and savory flavors! Easy to make and super satisfying, it is the perfect plant based meal!

I’m a bit of a rule follower.

I drive the speed limit. I pay my bills on time. I cross the street at the crosswalk. I follow guidelines and policies in my life…except for in the kitchen.

When I cook, I always seem to do my best work when I wing it. I rarely follow a recipes, even when baking (which was a bit tricky when I decided to become a food blogger and had to train my whimsically-cooking self to write things down as I went). I substitute ingredients and amounts left and right to suit my taste or what I have available in my pantry. Sometimes it ends in disaster that my husband is sweet enough to choke down with a smile and a polite “It’s not my favorite recipe of your’s.” Other-times, it ends in utter delight, such as this meal. 

The night I made this dish, I had planned a black bean stir-fry with whatever random veggies I had kicking around that needed to be used up, a frequent flyer on my weekly meal plan board. But, when dinner time rolled around, I was craving something sweet, savory, and a bit out of the norm.  This dish satisfied all those desires.

Homemade Teriyaki Sauce

This easy homemade dressing is going to be a game changer in your kitchen.

It is so easy to make and is simply bursting with flavor. A little of this liquid magic will add pizzazz to any simple dish you throw together and is super simple to make.

Ingredients for Teriyaki Sauce

  • Coconut Aminos or Soy sauce. Coconut aminos are naturally gluten free and soy free, so a great option if you are sensative to either of those.
  • Honey or Maple syrup – to help balance out the salty
  • Garlic – Minced.
  • Ground ginger – just hit your spice cabinet for ease
  • Balsamic vinegar – it brings an amazing dimension in the flavor department.
  • Cornstarch or Arrowroot powder– to help thicken the sauce up

All things that many kitchens have kicking around. However, if making homemade sauces is simply not your jam, feel free to pick up some bottled teriyaki sauce to make this black bean stir fry that much easier!

    Very good flavor! I think the cooking times were a little bit long other than the summer at the end but other than that everything was great! Served over a coconut jasmine rice.
