  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  • In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil and avocado oil on a medium high heat.

Recipe Notes

Choosing the right pan: Use the biggest wok or cast iron skillet you have, or work in batches. The key to hibachi-style vegetables, as they're usually cooked on a flat top is to get the pan very hot, and not to overcrowd it so the veggies steam rather than brown.
Leftovers & storage: I think hibachi vegetables are best enjoyed as soon as they're made, but they'll also warm through well in the microwave for meal prep bowls, or on the stovetop to add a bit more of that signature hibachi flavor. Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, but I'd not recommend freezing them because of the water content.
