📕 What is hibachi fried rice?

Hibachi Restaurants are Japanese Teppanyaki show kitchen, which are common all around the world.

The food these establishments serve, are common pan Asian meals such as the ones you get from Benihana.

The meals served in these show kitchens are then known as hibachi meals, such as today's fried rice.

Hibachi cooking is essentially Japanese chefs entertaining guests with their breathtaking cooking and knife skills.

My recipe for this fried rice is a copycat approach on the one that you get served in the various Hibachi restaurants.

I love this hibachi fried rice recipe with yum yum sauce and hibachi grill steak or seafood!

🍚 Ingredients

The best part is, that I created the recipe in such a way that YOU can adjust the recipe to your liking!

Rice

I tend to use whatever rice I have in my pantry, mainly Asian rice varieties such as basmati or sometimes Japanese sushi rice.

Short grain rice tends to be a great choice but long grains are fine as well.

Also, I tend to use leftover, one day old rice, so this is another reason why I'm not that strict with the choice of rice.

One day old leftover rice is the best rice for a asi

Protein

You can pick whichever protein you like to add to your copycat hibachi fried rice.

Adding two proteins is not uncommon as well.

As Protein you can add:

• Eggs
• Tofu
• Chicken
• Shrimp
• Beef

I prepared a hibachi chicken fried rice recipe in the how-to video further below. Here is a recipe a classic chicken fried rice.

For a more authentic fried rice recipe, just add eggs or skip the protein altogether.

Vegetables

The veggies are straight forward in this fried rice recipe.

You can't go wrong with carrots cut into match sticks, green peas and sliced spring onions.

You can also add cabbage or napa cabbage if you like but I wouldn't add anything else as this would alter the flavor of your hibachi style fried rice.

Seasoning and sauce

I think the stir fry sauce is the flavor giving A and O of a good fried rice dish.

You just need to mix soy sauce, rice vinegar and some sugar to create a stir fry sauce that will rock your wok.

The flavor profile of the sauce will be well balanced, salty (soy sauce), sweet (sugar) and sour (vinegar

Garlic and Ginger add flavors as well, which I add finely chopped or in a paste form so that it mixes into the fried rice.

You can also substitute the Garlic and Ginger by using garlic butter to add flavor.

This will result in a Benihana rice recipe version.
