11 Delectable Side Dishes to Serve with Beef Teriyaki

You’ve come to the correct spot if you’re wondering what to serve with your beef teriyaki.

In this essay, I’ll go through 11 of the most popular beef teriyaki side dishes.

In a rush? Heres the short answer.

Japanese fried rice, stir fry noodles, vegetable stir fry, and steamed bao go well with beef teriyaki. For healthier choices, try roasted broccoli, kale salad, and blistered edamame. Japanese potato salad, California roll, and okonomiyaki are more uncommon yet good options.

Ready? Lets jump right in.

Japanese fried rice

This fried rice is my go-to side dish with teriyaki beef and other meaty main entrees.

It’s easy to make and a fantastic way to use up any leftover veggies in your fridge.

This meal is traditionally made using short-grain Japanese rice, which has a chewier texture. However, if you want it less sticky, use medium-grain rice.

You can eat Japanese fried rice without visiting a teppanyaki restaurant!

Pro Tip: use day-old rice for best results.

Sesame stir fry noodles

Do you want some noodles? Instead of ordering takeout, prepare a batch of these stir fried noodles.

Because of the soy and sesame-based sauce, this recipe is fast, uncomplicated, and exceptionally tasty.

This recipe asks for shiitake mushrooms and baby spinach, but other vegetables such as bok choy and bean sprouts may be substituted.

For a wonderful, restaurant-worthy lunch, serve your teriyaki beef over these sesame stir fry noodles.

Vegetable stir fry

One of my favorite methods for cooking and serving veggies is stir-frying.

This technique yields vivid, crisp-tender veggies wrapped in an umami-rich sauce.

The trick to avoiding soggy vegetables?

Cook the veggies that take the longest (carrots, for example) first. Also, reserve the vegetables that don’t take too long to cook until last.

This veggie stir fry and teriyaki meat pair well!

Zucchini noodles

Love noodles, but avoiding carbs?

These low-carb noodles, often known as zoodles, are a great low-carb alternative to traditional noodles.

They’re created using a spiralizer, but a julienne peeler or a sharp knife will also work.

To cover and infuse these zucchini noodles with great umami tastes, toss them in with your beef teriyaki. Yum.

Steamed bao

These steamed buns are generally served with a savory filling, making them a full meal that can be eaten on the fly.

They’re as soft as a pillow, fluffy, and have a great chewy texture, making them the ideal vehicle for your teriyaki meat.

Top With Cinnamon’s recipe will guide you through the process of preparing these delectable steamed buns.

Sesame ginger roasted broccoli

Need a quick yet healthy side dish to go with your beef teriyaki?

Look no further than this roasted broccoli recipe.

It’s a simple meal in which broccoli florets are coated in a garlic-ginger oil combination, roasted over high heat, and then tossed with sesame oil.

In only 20 minutes, you’ll have tasty, crispy broccoli. Try My Modern Cookery’s recipe for this.

Asian kale and quinoa salad 

Serve this Asian salad with your beef teriyaki for a refreshing snack.

It is not only tasty, but it is also quite healthy.

This salad is packed with vitamins and minerals thanks to the abundance of vegetables and quinoa.

But it’s the zesty, umami-packed dressing that actually sets it apart.

Pro Tip: Massage the dressing into the kale to soften it and infuse it with flavor.

This Asian kale and quinoa salad dish should be on your weekly menu.

Japanese potato salad

Beef and potatoes are a traditional match, so serving your beef teriyaki with this Japanese potato salad is a no-brainer.

Unlike its Western equivalents, this version includes mashed potatoes as well as additional vegetables including cucumber and carrots.

Kewpie mayo (also known as Japanese mayo) is also called for to give it a creamy texture.

With a nice beer on the side, enjoy this Japanese potato salad.

Blistered edamame

Have you ever tried edamame?

If you havent, youre missing out.

This incredibly easy recipe calls for sauteing your edamame with dried chile (or three if you want it hot).

What if you don’t have access to dried chili? Red pepper flakes or a drop of spicy chili oil might be used.

This charred edamame with chili and garlic dish will spice up your beef teriyaki.

California roll

California rolls go well with your beef teriyaki bento.

It’s possible that the mix of fake crab, avocado, and cucumber sticks wrapped in sushi rice and seaweed isn’t the most genuine.

But we can all agree its delicious!

The Pickled Plums recipe will teach you how to prepare these rolls, as well as a spicy mayo variant.

Okonomiyaki

Okonomiyaki is a Japanese savory pancake made with cabbage, ginger, green onions, and shrimp.

The amazing thing about this savory pancake recipe is how simply it can be customized.

So why not jazz it up with beef teriyaki?

The sweet and tangy beef complements the savory ingredients on your pancakes perfectly.
