1 tbsp (9 g) sesame seeds
2 tbsps (12 g) green onions sliced

Return the vegetables to the skillet and pour in the teriyaki sauce. Stir to combine.
¾ cup (180 ml) teriyaki sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together the water and cornstarch to make a slurry. Add the slurry to the skillet and toss everything together until the vegetables are heated through and the sauce has thickened.
2 tbsps (30 ml) water, 1 tbsps (8 g) cornstarch
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions before serving.
2 tbsps (12 g) green onions, 1 tbsp (9 g) sesame seeds
Serve over noodles or rice.

Notes

Slice the beef thin so it cooks quickly. Chilling it briefly in the freezer helps with slicing.
Any vegetables can be used, such as carrots, snap peas, zucchini, or mushrooms.
Adjust the slurry to control sauce thickness. Less keeps it lighter, more makes it stickier.
Serve over noodles, rice, or make into lettuce wraps for a lighter option.
