      Can I use a frozen vegetable stir fry mix instead of a fresh vegetable blend?

        Yes, just might add a little more liquid if you do not defrost first.

      This is the first Chicken Teriyaki dish I’ve ever made at home that I loved! The Veri Veri sauce mixed with the aminos was delicious! I used a bag of frozen “Japanese Veggies” and removed the mushrooms. I will say after 40 minutes, my rice wasn’t cooked and my chicken was, so I removed the chicken and let the rice cook for about 15 minutes more. Overall, an incredibly easy dish to make!

      Thank you for creating this amazing site! I’ve never been so motivated to continue tracking my macros. You are a Godsend!!

      When’s the site being turned into a cookbook?? I want these recipes on my countertop. 🙂
