Ingredients
For Hibachi Chicken:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, minced
For Mustard Sauce:
- ½ cup light mayo
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
For Sautéed Vegetables:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 carrot, thinly sliced
- 1 cup mushrooms, halved
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 1 zucchini, chopped
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For Fried Rice:
- 2 cups cooked white rice (preferably day-old)
- 2 tbsp butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 egg
- 4 green onions, sliced
Instructions
1. Mix chicken with sesame oil, soy sauce, hoisin, garlic, and ginger. Cook in a skillet over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes until fully cooked. Set aside.
2. Ensure rice is pre-cooked (day-old rice is best for frying).
3. In a small bowl, whisk together mayo, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and Dijon mustard to make the mustard sauce. Set aside.
4. Heat olive oil in the same skillet. Add carrots, mushrooms, onion, zucchini, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp. Remove and set aside.
5. Melt butter in the skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
6. Add the cooked rice and soy sauce. Stir and fry for about 5 minutes.
7. Push rice to one side of the skillet and crack in the egg. Scramble until cooked through, then mix into the rice along with sliced green onions.
8. To serve, plate the fried rice and top with cooked chicken and sautéed vegetables. Serve mustard sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
For the best texture, use day-old rice when making fried rice.
You can swap chicken breasts with chicken thighs for a juicier result.
Add shrimp or steak for a deluxe hibachi combo.
Customize your vegetables based on what you have on hand — bell peppers and broccoli also work well.
Serve with extra soy sauce or sriracha for added flavor.
