Ingredients

  • Bell peppers (red, yellow, and green), sliced into strips
  • Zucchini, cut into half-moons
  • Yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • Shiitake or button mushrooms, sliced
  • Carrots, julienned or sliced thin
  • Green beans, trimmed
  • Mayonnaise (preferably Hellmann’s)
  • Japanese Kewpie mayo (optional, for extra creaminess)
  • Rice vinegar
  • Garlic powder
  • Onion powder
  • Smoked paprika or cayenne pepper (pinch)
  • Sugar
  • Water (to thin sauce)
  • Vegetable or canola oil
  • Low sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • Sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Prep the Vegetables (10 minutes): Rinse all veggies thoroughly. Slice bell peppers into 1/4-inch strips. Cut zucchini into 1/2-inch half-moons. Thinly slice yellow onion, julienne or slice carrots thinly, trim green beans, and slice mushrooms. Keep sizes consistent for even cooking.
  2. Make the Yum Yum Sauce (5 minutes): In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon sugar, and a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper. Whisk until smooth. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency (about 2-3 tablespoons). Cover and refrigerate.
  3. Heat the Blackstone (5 minutes): Preheat Blackstone griddle on medium-high heat (~400°F). Drizzle 1 tablespoon vegetable oil evenly and heat until shimmering but not smoking.
  4. Cook the Vegetables (7-10 minutes): Add onions and carrots first, cook about 3 minutes until slightly softened. Add bell peppers, zucchini, green beans, and mushrooms. Season with about 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce. Toss frequently to prevent burning and achieve tender-crisp with caramelized edges.
  5. Finish with Sesame Oil (1 minute): Drizzle about 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil over cooked vegetables and toss quickly. Remove from heat immediately.
  6. Serve: Plate vegetables hot with a generous side of creamy yum yum sauce for dipping or drizzling.

Notes

Keep veggies moving on the griddle to prevent sticking. Increase heat if vegetables release too much water to maintain sear. Sesame oil added at the end enhances aroma and flavor. Sauce thickens in fridge; stir in water if too thick before serving. For vegan option, use vegan mayo and coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
