Ingredients
Vegetables:
- 1 zucchini sliced into rounds or half-moons
- 8 oz mushrooms sliced
- 1/2 onion sliced into rings or half-moons
For Cooking:
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil optional, for extra flavor
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds for garnish
Optional Add-ins:
- 1/2 cup bell peppers sliced
- 1/2 cup snap peas or carrots
- 1 tbsp mirin optional, for sweetness
Instructions
- Prep Your Vegetables:
- Slice the zucchini, mushrooms, and onion into uniform pieces for even cooking.
- If using optional vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas, slice them similarly.
- Cook the Vegetables:
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the unsalted butter and let it melt.
- Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Toss in the zucchini and onion, cooking for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
- Add the mushrooms (and any optional veggies) and cook for another 5 minutes until everything is tender and slightly caramelized.
- Season and Finish:
- Add the soy sauce and sesame oil to the pan. Stir well to coat the vegetables in the sauce and allow it to absorb into the veggies for about 2 minutes.
- Garnish with sesame seeds before serving for a nice crunch and extra flavor.
- Serve:
- Serve the hibachi vegetables immediately as a side dish or over rice for a complete meal.
Notes
-
- Don’t Overcrowd: Cook in batches if necessary. Overcrowding the pan will steam the vegetables instead of giving them a nice sear.
-
Vegan Option: Use olive oil or plant-based butter to make the recipe fully vegan.
- Optional Sauce Add-ins: Add a splash of mirin for a slight sweetness, or a sprinkle of chili flakes for some heat.
- Serving Options: These hibachi vegetables can be served over rice, as a side to grilled meats, or in a bowl with quinoa.
