3. Make the Sauce:
   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and minced ginger.

Tips for making Hibachi Vegetables and Sprouts

Cooking Tips

• Uniform Slicing: When slicing your mixed vegetables, aim for uniform sizes. This ensures even roasting and a consistent texture.
• The Perfect Roast: Keep an eye on your veggies during roasting. They should be tender with slightly crispy edges. Overcooking can result in mushy vegetables.
• Sauce Timing: Wait until the very end to add the soy sauce and sesame oil mixture. This helps maintain the vegetables’ crispiness while infusing them with flavor.
• Use a High-Quality Baking Sheet: Invest in a high-quality baking sheet to avoid uneven cooking and sticking. A non-stick sheet is preferable.
• Overcrowding the Sheet: Overcrowding the baking sheet can lead to steaming instead of roasting. Give your vegetables some space to breathe.
• Soggy Veggies: Adding the sauce too early can cause your vegetables to become soggy. Always add the sauce after roasting to maintain the desired texture.
• Skipping the Toss: Make sure to toss your veggies halfway through roasting to ensure even cooking and browning.

Serving Suggestions

Recommended Sides and Garnishes:

• Steamed Rice: Serve your oven-roasted Hibachi Vegetables and Sprouts over a bed of fluffy jasmine rice for a complete meal.
• Soy Sauce: Offer a small bowl of extra soy sauce at the table for those who prefer an extra dash of flavor.
• Pickled Ginger: Pickled ginger adds a delightful tang and complements the hibachi flavors perfectly.

Different Ways to Serve:

• Hibachi Bowl: Create a hibachi-style bowl by adding grilled chicken or tofu to the dish for extra protein.
• Hibachi Stir-fry: Turn your leftovers into a delicious stir-fry by adding cooked noodles or more vegetables and stir-frying in a hot pan with a little soy sauce.
