Low Carb Teriyaki Bowls are my version of a Tokyo Joe’s Build Your Own Bowl. You choose your protein (like salmon or steak), your carbohydrate (like rice or pasta) your vegetables and your choice of sauce!
I have always been open and honest about my love hate relationship with vegetables. I did not grow up eating them, so they are still one of those things that I have to intentionally set out to incorporate into meals. Soups and Asian meals seem to be the easiest way to pack in the veggies, and these Low Carb Teriyaki Bowls make that task simple and delicious!!
I was so excited when I saw Tokyo Joe’s Stevi-yaki sugar-free sauce, I figured that would be perfect for a Keto friendly meal. Then I got home and started doing some digging, their sauce is sugar-free but not gluten-free…womp womp! It looks like I need another restaurant recipe makeover!!
How to make Low Carb Teriyaki Bowls:
Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet (mine is cast iron). Add the zucchini and cook until it is starting to brown on both sides.
Stir in the steamed broccoli and spinach.
Season with salt and pepper and cook until spinach is wilted.
Divide the rice or noodles (if using) between two bowls.
Top with half of the vegetable mixture, then your choice of protein. (one is salmon and the other is steak)
Add avocado slices, drizzle with teriyaki sauce and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and green onions.
Recipe Notes & Tips:
- This meal is the perfect way to use up leftover meat!
- I chose zucchini, broccoli and spinach because they are my favorites. Carrots, snap peas, bean sprouts, mushrooms, carrots and edamame beans would also be delicious.
- Avocado and cooked eggs are considered “Super Upgrades” on their menu, so I decided we needed avocado slices to be included.
- Spice things up by adding Sriracha sauce.
Recipe Modifications:
To make Regular Teriyaki Bowl:
- Serve with Steamed Rice, brown rice or cooked Udon noodles. (follow package directions)
- Use your favorite Teriyaki Sauce, or make my Homemade version. You can also make the sugar-free teriyaki sauce with regular brown sugar and skip the stevia.
To make Whole 30 or Paleo Teriyaki Bowls:
- Serve with Cauliflower Rice or cooked Sweet Potatoes.
- Use your favorite approved teriyaki sauce, or make my Homemade version. (substitute date paste for the sweeteners)
To make Keto Teriyaki Bowls:
- Serve over Cauliflower Rice or double up on the vegetables.
- Drizzle with my Sugar Free Teriyaki Sauce.
Pick your Protein:
Salmon, steak, or boneless chicken breasts/thighs sprinkled with garlic pepper and sauteed in a non-stick pan or cooked over the grill. Yep, you could even use Tofu if you like.
The possibilities are endless! 🙂
