Asian inspired foods are some of my favorite dishes. Do you go to those Hibachi style Japanese restaurants and love the vegetables? Well now you can make hibachi vegetables at home!
I always eat my vegetables and any leftovers on my husband’s plate. That big dollop of herb butter they throw in there has to help, but I came pretty close to the real deal with these Hibachi Style Teriyaki Vegetables. No giant dollops of butter required!
How to Make Hibachi Style Vegetables at Home
You need to make sure your pan is really hot. That’s key in getting some color on the vegetables. Cast iron is perfect for this because you can get it really hot without worry. I do not recommend a non stick skillet for this because you just can’t get enough heat under it without ruining your skillet.
If you have a Blackstone (those are super popular right now) this is the perfect hibachi vegetables recipe for the Blackstone!
If you have to do the stove, the cast iron skillet is really your friend when making these hibachi vegetables because it holds heat and acts a lot like those super hot flat top grills at your favorite hibachi restaurant.
Keep in mind I’m referring to restaurants like Beni Hana here. I’m sure authentic Japanese is completely different. At restaurants here it he states Hibachi grills are those flat top grills like a Blackstone. I’m only referring to this recipe as Hibachi because of that fact.
For Good Hibachi Style Vegetables DO NOT Crowd the Pan
The other key to this recipe is make sure you cook the vegetables in a single layer and in stages. Part of the magic of the Hibachi grill is the fact that you have a very hot surface where all the food makes direct contact with the heat. That’s why everything that comes off that grill tastes amazing.
Since I don’t have a Hibachi and you probably don’t either, I recommend cooking the vegetables in stages and then bringing them all back together at the end before adding the sauce. I think shrimp, chicken, steak or salmon would all compliment these on the side. Take your pick. If you’re vegetarian or vegan simply serve them over rice.
If you make these please comment below and let me know how it went! I love it when you rate and review my recipes!

Hibachi Style Teriyaki Vegetables
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sugar Snap Peas
- 1 cup Red and Yellow Bell Peppers Thinly Sliced
- 2 cups White Mushrooms Sliced
- 2 cups Broccoli Florets fresh
- 1 cup Carrots Thinly Sliced
- 3 tbsp. Tamari or Soy Sauce You can use Soy Sauce if you're not making this gluten free.
- 3 tbsp. Teriyaki Sauce Choose an organic one with whole ingredients.
- 2 tsp. Sesame oil
- Sesame Seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Make sure all of your vegetables are chopped and prepped before you begin cooking.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Add in 1 tbsp. of avocado, coconut or canola oil. It has to be an oil that can take heat. Do not use olive oil for this.
- Add the broccoli and carrots to the hot pan. Stir fry until they are crisp tender and have just a bit of color. This will take 5-7 minutes.
- Remove those and add in the mushrooms. You want to cook them on their own so they have plenty of room. When they are brown remove them from the pan and place with the broccoli and carrots.
- Last you want to cook the peppers with the Sugar Snap Peas. These will take 3-4 minutes. When they are ready add all of the other vegetables back to the pan. Make sure you are stirring constantly.
- Pour in the Tamari (or Soy Sauce), Teriyaki Sauce and Sesame Oil. Toss together for about one minute, Sprinkle with Sesame Seeds and serve.

You are correct. Teppanyaki is grilling on a steel flat gas heated grill surface. Hibachi is grilling over charcoal much like shish kebabs. The Japanese "hibachi" restaurants in the US have distorted many things about Teppanyaki. The theatrics you see in those establishments only happen outside Japan. This recipe is stir fry with teriyaki sauce as you state. I'm sure it tastes delicious (and certainly looks it) but it should be called by the right name since it perpetuates misleading information.

Hi Aoshi- Thanks for stopping by. The reason for naming this recipe "hibachi style" is to say "like" not authentic hibachi. I'm fully aware that foods which are inspired by other cultures get Americanized so to speak. The reason for naming this recipe is to let the reader know they can get that flavor they enjoy in these restaurants at home. It is certainly not to insult or perpetuate misleading information. My intention and reason for saying Hibachi "style" versus AUTHENTIC HIBACHI is to mimic the flavor with an easier method. Since myself and the bulk of my readers live here in the US that is the only point of reference most of us have. It's certainly not meant to insult a culture. My apologies if you took it as such. When things make their way here from other cultures there is bound to be spin on it, but it is certainly never meant to be an insult. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery if you ask me.

Hibachi is authentically grilling food (if soup, it would be in a cast iron pot) with charcoal. This recipe is stir frying, not hibachi. I’m not sure what “Japanese” restaurant you saw were doing, it must be one of many fake Japanese restaurants. Teriyaki refers to grilling or broiling with a glaze of teriyaki sauce. Therefore this is not teriyaki either. To a Japanese person like myself, this should be named as stir fryed veggies with Teriyaki sauce.

The method creates the flavors found in Hibachi restaurants here in America. I am aware that this is likely not traditional and is found in those types of restaurants. This is also why I named the recipe "Hibachi Style" vegetables. The method of cooking it on high heat in cast iron and adding the Teriyaki Sauce creates that same flavor and texture. This is certainly not a recipe meant to be authentic. It's made in a way that is more accessible to the home cook and uses ingredients that can be found in the average grocery store. Thank you for your feedback.
