Ingredients Notes:

Mushrooms: A variety of mushrooms can be used, such as button, cremini, or shiitake. Each offers a slightly different flavor, so choose your favorite or a mix for added depth.
Teriyaki Sauce: Opt for a high-quality Teriyaki sauce for the best flavor. You can also make your own by combining soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, and ginger.
Vegetables: Feel free to mix and match the vegetables. Bell peppers, onions, snow peas, and carrots work well, but you can also add broccoli or bok choy.
Rice: Serve your stir-fry with steamed white rice, brown rice, or noodles for a complete meal.

Variations and Substitutions:

Add protein: Tofu, tempeh, or a handful of edamame are great vegetarian options. You can also add grilled chicken or shrimp for a non-vegetarian twist.
Gluten-free option: Use tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce to make the dish gluten-free.
Spicy twist: For heat, add chili flakes, sriracha, or a dash of sambal oelek to the Teriyaki sauce.

Storage Options:

This dish can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When reheating, add a splash of water or vegetable broth to restore moisture. It’s not recommended to freeze this stir-fry as the texture of the mushrooms may change when thawed.
