These Hibachi Vegetables are crisp-tender, buttery, and full of classic Japanese steakhouse flavor — without the restaurant price. Fresh zucchini, broccoli, and bell peppers cook quickly in garlic, soy sauce, and butter for an easy, budget-friendly side dish that pairs perfectly with chicken, steak, shrimp, or fried rice.
Preheat a large skillet, griddle or cast iron pan over medium high heat.
Add 2 tablespoons of oil to the pan.
Add 1 zucchini, 2 cups of broccoli florets, 1 red and green bell pepper, to the pan. Season them with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper and cook until they start to soften (3-4 minutes).
Add 3 cloves of minced garlic to the pan and sauté with the other vegetables over medium high until they are tender (8-10 minutes).
Toss in 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. Sauté for a few minutes until the butter is melted and all veggies are coated.
Remove from the pan and serve while warm. Enjoy!
