"Sakana" Veggies

We have a hibachi-style restaurant here that I LOVE, but who wants to pay upwards of $25 a plate? Instead, I trial-and-errored my way to perfecting the veggies that they do on the grill there. Here they are!




Sakana-style Stir-Fried Vegetables

1 large onion, sliced

2 zucchini, sliced length-wise and then into thick strips

2 carrots, sliced

1 cup broccoli florets

1 1/2 cups button mushrooms, cut into quarters

1 tsp sesame seeds

2 TBSP butter

garlic powder (to taste)

tsp salt (to taste)

soy sauce (to taste)



1) Heat a wok with the butter until it is bubbly and hot, then add the veggies and stir-fry until desired tenderness (I like mine to stay a bit crunchy, so about 4-5 minutes).

2) Season with salt and garlic powder (start with about 1/2 tsp and then add more if you want more)

3) sprinkle with soy sauce and sesame seeds and serve. It is great with either steamed white rice or fried rice.

Enjoy!
