Teriyaki Eggplant & Mushroom Stir Fry (Quick & Easy Recipe & Mukbang!)

For today’s #munchingmondays episode, I made an amazingly delicious and simple recipe — Teriyaki Eggplant & Mushroom! Check out the video and scroll down for the written recipe!

So I decided to make Teriyaki Eggplant & Mushroom Stir Fry and it was delicious! Recently, my mom gave me an eggplant and I realized that I rarely cook with it, but I do love the texture and the unique ability to soak up so much flavour! Plus, it’s very healthy because it has a good amount of vitamins, minerals, and fiber.  Therefore, I came up with a recipe that combines the greatness of eggplant with the sweet, yummy flavour of teriyaki sauce! It’s yummy, it’s saucy, and oh so easy to make! Plus, I had to sprinkle in some variety because apparently, I have been making noodle dishes for my four previous mukbang videos… OMG! (Not that it’s a bad thing though because mah tummy was happy! LOL!)

Just a quick tip: I started off with some specific measurements in mind for the sauce but feel free to adjust the ingredients if you feel like it’s too salty, not salty enough or lacking in sweetness. For easier reference, head on over to the video and check out the written recipe below!

  1. I am loving your videos. You have helped me and my boyfriend navigate vegan cooking and enjoy doing it. I am wondering if you can share what cookware you are using? I remember the video where you talked about them but I cannot find it again. I am in the market for new pans and I remember you saying they were direct to consumer and cheaper than hexclad. Thank you.
