Notes

• Different low carb teriyaki sauces may vary significantly in sweetness and net carbs.
• Frozen cauliflower rice works well if thawed or microwaved before serving.
• Stir-fry vegetable blends containing carrots may slightly increase carbs.
• Refined coconut oil works well for higher-heat cooking because of its neutral flavor.
• Kevin’s Natural Foods Soy-Free Teriyaki Sauce is one convenient lower-carb option.
