Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound (0.45 kilograms) chicken breasts, diced
Sauces and Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh minced ginger
Vegetables:
- 1 carrot, thinly sliced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced in half
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 1 zucchini, chopped
Mustard Sauce:
- 1/2 cup light mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
Fried Rice Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 egg
- 4 green onions, sliced
Cooking Oils:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Additional Seasonings:
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken in the prepared hibachi seasoning mixture, ensuring even coating and allowing flavors to penetrate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, cooking the marinated chicken for approximately 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and fully cooked through. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.
- Prepare rice according to package instructions, ensuring grains are fluffy and separated. While rice cooks, whisk together mustard sauce ingredients until smooth and well combined.
- In the same skillet, drizzle olive oil and sauté vegetables with soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp, maintaining their vibrant color and slight crunch. Remove vegetables and keep warm.
- Melt butter in the skillet, quickly sauté minced garlic for 20-30 seconds until fragrant. Add cooked rice and soy sauce, stirring continuously for 4-5 minutes to develop a slightly crispy texture.
- Create a small well in the center of the rice, crack the egg directly into the space, and scramble quickly. Integrate the egg throughout the rice, then fold in chopped green onions.
- Arrange fried rice on serving plates, top with cooked chicken and sautéed vegetables. Serve the mustard sauce alongside as a complementary dipping condiment.
Notes
- Marinate chicken beforehand for deeper flavor infusion, allowing seasonings to penetrate meat thoroughly.
- Choose short-grain or medium-grain rice for authentic hibachi-style texture and stickiness.
- Use high heat and keep ingredients moving quickly to achieve restaurant-style sear and prevent burning.
- Prep all ingredients in advance to ensure smooth, fast cooking process since hibachi-style cooking happens rapidly.
