Vegan Chick’n Teriyaki with Homemade Sauce has all the delicious flavors of Japanese cuisine, yet it is a healthier version of the restaurant kind. Also, easy to make without any special cooking skills.
Japanese food was always one of my favorites, especially teriyaki! Unfortunately, it has been a very long time since I dine in a Japanese restaurant, not only because I am vegan, but also because of COVID restrictions.
Last time when I was out for a walk with my daughter, we passed by a beautiful big Japanese restaurant. It was completely empty, as we could see through the big windows and I thought how nice it would be to go in.
Sadly that is not possible, right now, so I decided to make my own Vegan Chick’n Teriyaki, at home. And oh boy, it turned out absolutely amazing! Besides, much healthier than the one they serve in restaurants. Although, it is nice to sit at the table and be served and skip the dishes once in a while; that is the part I miss!
Nevertheless, making your own Vegan Chick’n Teriyaki is well worth it, especially with Butler Soy Curls. Although, you can make this recipe with tofu as well if you prefer, yet, I love soy curls, because they are better than meat. Well, at least I think so, because I have not eaten meat since 2009. Yet, I have made a few recipes with this product such as VEGAN CHICK’N SATAY or HUNGARIAN PAPRIKASH.
Anyway, I really hope you try this simple recipe because it is absolutely yummy. Thank you so much for visiting and if you have any questions or suggestions please contact me anytime.
