Description
A restaurant-quality Japanese meal made convenient in the air fryer. Tender shrimp and crisp-tender vegetables are coated in a savory, umami-rich sauce with aromatic garlic and ginger. Quick, easy, and ideal for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 cup red onion, thinly sliced
2 cups broccoli florets
2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon mirin (or use a non-alcoholic substitute)
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon ginger, grated
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon sugar (optional, for sweetness)
1 tablespoon cornstarch (for sauce consistency)
2 tablespoons water
Chopped green onions or sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, mirin, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and sugar. Set aside.
In another small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water to make a slurry.
Place shrimp, bell peppers, red onion, and broccoli in the air fryer basket. Drizzle with half of the sauce.
Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes.
Remove the basket and brush with the remaining sauce, then return to the air fryer. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until shrimp are fully cooked and vegetables are tender-crisp.
Mix the cornstarch slurry into the remaining sauce in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until thickened.
Toss the cooked hibachi mix with the thickened sauce until well coated. Garnish with green onions or sesame seeds and serve.
Notes
You can prepare the sauce in advance to save time.
Feel free to swap the vegetables for zucchini, mushrooms, or snap peas for a different flavor profile.
If you don’t have an air fryer, consider using a skillet over medium-high heat, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
