    Chef's pro tip

    Avoid overcrowding the skillet with too many veggies at once. Instead, cook the vegetables in batches to ensure they cook evenly and develop a delicious caramelized exterior.

    How to make it healthier?

    • Reduce the sodium content of the recipe by using low-sodium tamari or soy sauce.

    Time-saving tips

    • Buy pre-cut mushrooms and onions.

    Storage and reheating instructions

    For storage

    Let the hibachi mushrooms and onions cool completely, transfer them to an airtight container or resealable bag, and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days.

    For reheating

    • Stovetop: Reheat the leftovers in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed.
    • Microwave: Put the leftovers in a microwave-safe dish, cover it with a microwave-safe lid or wrap, and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until thoroughly heated.

    Frequently asked questions

    While button mushrooms are commonly used, you can experiment with different mushroom varieties like shiitake, cremini, or portobello.

    Benihana or teppanyaki mushrooms are all the same name as hibachi mushrooms, so feel free to use any variety you want.

    Fresh mushrooms are recommended for the best texture and flavor, but you can also use frozen mushrooms. However, the taste may vary.

    It can be due to overcrowding the skillet. So, cook them in batches, allowing enough space between them for proper browning.

    Using insufficient fat or cooking on high heat can cause the veggies to stick to the skillet. So, add an adequate amount of butter or oil to prevent sticking.

    The dish can taste bland when you don't season the dish adequately. So, seasoning well is the key to a flavorful dish.
