What other vegetables can I add to this Japanese restaurant style hibachi grill veggies?

Any of your favorite vegetables can be added to this sauce and make a great meal. Some different vegetables I've used in the recipe include green onions, broccoli florets, snow peas, yellow squash, sliced bok choy and even bean sprouts. Just be sure everything is cut into a similar size to make eating the veggies simple.

What should I serve with these hibachi vegetables?

This dish is a delicious accompaniment to any stir-fry meal, including salmon hibachi or shrimp hibachi. I always serve yum yum sauce and ginger sauce on the side, as well as chili crisp, so I can customize the flavor of my favorite Japanese steakhouse meal from the comfort of my own home! Steamed white rice or Japanese-style fried rice are great sides, and yaki udon would be a nice hibachi noodles side to serve with the veggies, as well.

Can I add any other spices or flavors to the hibachi sauce?

Fresh ginger is always a great option in hibachi style food, and you can add a sprinkle of powdered ginger. Some people like to add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the sauce to enhance the hibachi flavors. If you're looking for a spicier sauce, add red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper or serve the veggies with a jar of chili crisp.

How to store leftover hibachi vegetables?

To store, transfer the vegetables to an airtight container and keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

To begin, prepare your vegetables. Wash and cut your zucchini into quarters lengthwise, and then slice into quarter rounds. Peel and cut your onion into wedges. Peel and cut your carrot in half lengthwise, then into half coins. Clean and quarter mushrooms.
Next, combine all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Stir to combine. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of neutral oil, along with the sliced carrots and onions. Stir fry for about 2 minutes. Add the zucchini to the pan and continuing sautéing for another 2 minutes, until the veggies are getting golden brown around the edges. Finally, move the vegetables to the edges of the pan and drop the mushrooms in the middle. Let them cook undisturbed for about two minutes to develop a nice sear, then toss in with the other vegetables.
Add the sauce ingredients to the pan of vegetables still over medium-high heat. Coat the veggies in the sauce and let the sauce heat through until it clings to the sauteed vegetables. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Transfer the hibachi vegetables to a serving platter and top with sesame seeds.
