Hibachi Vegetables
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 large white onion, cut into strips
- 2 small zucchinis, cut into strips
- 1 cup mushrooms, halved
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1/2 large bell pepper, cut into strips
- 1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce

Yum Yum Sauce for serving

- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Preheat a large griddle or flat-top skillet to medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and sesame oil to warm. Once hot, add minced garlic and grated ginger and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Sear the Chicken: Add the cubed chicken to the hot griddle. Seared, cook, turning frequently, until the chicken is light golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Add soy sauce and butter, stirring until coated and heated through. Keep warm and set aside.
- Cook the Vegetables: Add vegetable oil and sesame oil to the griddle. Once heated, add broccoli florets and sauté for 3-4 minutes until crisp tender. Then, add onions and bell peppers, cooking for another 3-4 minutes. Finally, add mushrooms, zucchini, butter, soy sauce, and a few grinds of black pepper. Toss and cook until vegetables are just tender, about 2-3 minutes.
- Serve: Plate the seared chicken and vegetables together. Drizzle with Yum Yum Sauce and enjoy a flavorful hibachi-style meal.
Notes
- Adjust soy sauce quantities for salt preference.
- You can substitute chicken with tofu for a vegetarian version.
- Use a non-stick griddle or cast-iron skillet for best results.
- The Yum Yum sauce can be prepared in advance to allow the flavors to meld.
