HIBACHI FRIED RICE RECIPE

Steps:

• First, have your rice cooked and ready. If you don't have leftover rice, cook your rice al dente (to the bite), that way when you plan on stir-frying the rice it won't turn soggy.
• Keep all your ingredients ready. Mix the sauce ingredient together and keep aside. Cut the carrot into matchsticks. Clean and/or cut your protein into bite-sized pieces.
• Heat up a large skillet or wok with the oil and stir cook the sliced green onion bulbs with the ginger + garlic (or substitute with garlic butter).
• Add the carrot and peas and stir cook for a minute on high heat.
• Make space in your pan (see video) and break in the eggs. Scramble, cook and break the eggs. Mix and stir cook everything quickly.
• Make space again and add your protein. In the video, I used chicken pieces. Stir cook on all side on high heat for a minute and mix everything together.
• Now add in your cooked rice and pour your stir fry sauce over the rice. Mix and stir cook everything for a minute or two until everything is cooked and well combined. Use high heat and don't over mix because it shouldn't get mushy.
• Garnish with fresh sliced green onion stalks. Serve hot.

JAPANESE STEAKHOUSE FRIED RICE RECIPE - (3.9/5)

Steps:

• In a large wok or on a griddle, scramble the eggs in 1 tablespoon of the butter over low to medium heat. Remove from the wok and set aside on a plate. Melt the additional 2 tablespoons of butter in the wok or on the griddle over high heat. Add the garlic and carrots, stirring constantly. After 1 to 2 minutes, stir in the cooked rice and soy sauce. Toss to thoroughly incorporate the ingredients. Add the cooked eggs and onion and mix in the gomasio and black pepper to taste; cook for another 6 to 8 minutes, or until the rice is warmed through and the flavors incorporated. Serve immediately alongside grilled meats or a teriyaki-style main dish. Tips: Make your fried rice stand out by varying the ingredients. Yumiko Kanou, chef and owner of the Tokyo restaurant Nakaiseki Sen, leaves out the egg, butter and gomasio and adds pine nuts, sesame oil and chiles de arbol to her brown fried rice. A splash of sake added along with the soy sauce adds another layer of flavor to fried rice, too. Cook the rice the day before and refrigerate it overnight. Refrigerated rice is less likely to stick together when fried, so you'll get separated grains, rather than a mushy mass. To give the rice even more flavor, cook it in chicken or vegetable broth. That Steakhouse Flavor Although this recipe is a close approximation of Japanese steakhouse fried rice, it can't duplicate it exactly. Teppanyaki-style restaurants usually cook the rice straight on the grill that's used to cook the meat and multiple other dishes. This imparts a flavor into the rice that's unique and almost impossible to replicate without a highly seasoned grill.
