Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon mirin or dry sherry
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or canola oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Optional: sliced green onions for garnish
  • 3 cups cooked jasmine rice, preferably day-old and chilled
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, and corn)
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: a few drops of toasted sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Slice 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts into thin, bite-sized strips about 1/4 inch thick. Toss chicken in a bowl with 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon mirin, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Let marinate for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Chop 1 small onion finely and mince 2 cloves garlic. Thaw and drain frozen mixed vegetables if using. Beat 2 eggs in a small bowl and set aside. Ensure cooked rice is cold and separated.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil on Blackstone griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and mixed vegetables, cooking for another 2 minutes until tender but still crisp.
  4. Push veggies to one side, pour beaten eggs into cleared space. Scramble until just set, then mix with veggies.
  5. Add 3 cups cold cooked jasmine rice, breaking up clumps. Drizzle 3 tablespoons soy sauce evenly over rice and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until heated through and slightly crispy. Add salt, pepper, and optional toasted sesame oil to taste.
  6. Push rice aside or transfer to bowl to keep warm. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to griddle, increase heat to medium-high. Add marinated chicken in a single layer, cooking 3-4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through with a nice sear. Drizzle 1 teaspoon sesame oil over chicken before removing from heat.
  7. Plate hibachi chicken alongside or on top of fried rice. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately while hot.

Notes

Use day-old rice for best fried rice texture to avoid mushiness. Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking chicken to get a good sear. Adjust soy sauce gradually to control saltiness. Marinate chicken for at least 10-15 minutes for better flavor. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos. For vegan fried rice, omit eggs and add extra veggies or tofu.
