Description
Hibachi Fried Rice brings the flavors of a Japanese steakhouse right to your kitchen. It’s a savory, quick dish featuring tender rice, stir-fried vegetables, and scrambled eggs, all seasoned with soy sauce and a splash of rice vinegar for an authentic hibachi taste.
Ingredients
- For the rice:
- 4 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably day-old rice for best texture)
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil (or vegetable oil)
- 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup carrots, diced small
- 1/2 cup peas (frozen or fresh)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional, for extra depth of flavor)
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar (optional, for a bit of tang)
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the rice: If using fresh rice, cook and spread it on a baking sheet to cool for 15-20 minutes. This helps prevent it from becoming mushy when stir-fried.
- Cook the eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the beaten eggs and scramble until fully cooked, then remove and set aside.
- Stir-fry the vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining oil. Stir-fry the onions, carrots, and peas for 3-4 minutes until tender. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
- Add the rice: Add the cooked rice, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until heated through and lightly crispy.
- Season the rice: Stir in soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and rice vinegar (if using). Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Finish the dish: Add the scrambled eggs back into the rice and toss until everything is evenly mixed. Stir in green onions and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- Serve: Serve hot as a side dish or main course. Enjoy with your favorite hibachi-inspired dishes!
