Hibachi Vegetables

These hibachi vegetables are a simple, flavor-packed side that brings the sizzle and bold umami of your favorite Japanese steakhouse straight to your home!

Ingredients:

• 1 to 2 cups broccoli, chopped

• ½ to 1 cup carrot chips

• 1 zucchini, large chopped

• ¾ yellow onion, large chopped

• 1 tbsp garlic, minced

• 1-2 tbsp butter

• Avocado oil

• 2 tbsp rice vinegar

• ¼ cup soy sauce (adjust to taste)

• ¼ cup teriyaki sauce (adjust to taste)

• Salt and white pepper

Preparation:

Blackstone Method:

1. Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with avocado oil.

   
   

2. Add 1–2 tablespoons of butter and the chopped vegetables to the griddle. Sauté, stirring occasionally, for about 5–7 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly softened but still crisp.*

   
   

3. Add minced garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, teriyaki sauce, salt, and white pepper. Toss everything together to evenly coat the vegetables in the sauce.

   
   

4. Taste and adjust seasoning or add more soy/teriyaki sauce if desired. Remove from heat and serve immediately.

Stovetop Method:

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1–2 tablespoons of butter along with the vegetables.

   
   

2. Sauté for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are slightly tender but still have a bite.*

   Note: Avoid overcrowding the pan, as it can cause the vegetables to steam instead of sear. If needed, cook in batches for the best texture.

   
   

3. Add the minced garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, teriyaki sauce, salt, and white pepper. Toss to evenly coat the vegetables in the sauce.

   
   

4. Taste and adjust seasoning or add more soy/teriyaki sauce if desired. Remove from heat and serve immediately.

*Notes and suggestions:

• You want the vegetables to remain slightly crisp—avoid overcooking for the best texture.

• Feel free to customize! Try adding mushrooms, sugar snap peas, or yellow squash for extra color and variety.
