Ingredients
Vegetables
- 1-2 cups Broccoli florets (trimmed to even size, fresh is best, use frozen if you must)
- 1 package Mushrooms (button, shiitake, or your favorite, cut into quarters or sliced)
- 1 large Red Bell Pepper (cut into thin strips)
- 1-1½ large Onions (sliced thin)
- 3 medium Zucchinis (cut into rounds and then halved)
- 3-4 Green Onions (trimmed and whites and greens separated; save some for garnish)
Seasonings & Oils
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 3-4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce (substitute with low-sodium, Tamari, liquid aminos or coconut aminos as desired)
- Salt and Black Pepper to taste
- Sesame Seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat grill or pan: Heat your Blackstone flat top grill to about 400°F (200°C) or heat a large heavy-duty cast iron skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and allow it to warm.
- Sauté onions and broccoli: Add the sliced onions (including the white parts of the green onions) and broccoli florets to the grill or pan. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables become tender but still crisp.
- Add garlic: During the last minute of sautéing the onions and broccoli, add the minced garlic to the pan and stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add remaining vegetables: Add the mushrooms, red bell pepper strips, zucchinis, and the green parts of the green onions. Continue stir-frying for an additional 3-4 minutes until all the vegetables reach a crisp-tender texture.
- Season and finish: Toss the cooked vegetables with 1 tablespoon of butter, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and let the butter melt into the vegetables evenly.
- Serve: Transfer the hibachi vegetables to a serving plate. Garnish with sesame seeds and reserved green onion tops. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- For a lower sodium option, substitute soy sauce with low-sodium soy sauce, tamari, liquid aminos, or coconut aminos.
- Fresh vegetables are preferred for best texture and flavor, but frozen broccoli can be used in a pinch.
- Use a heavy cast iron skillet if you don’t have a flat top grill to mimic the hibachi experience at home.
- This dish pairs wonderfully with hibachi fried rice or your choice of protein for a complete meal.
- Adjust cooking time slightly depending on vegetable size to avoid overcooking.
