Equipment

  • Large Skillet or Griddle

Ingredients

Protein

  • 3 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced

Grains

  • 3 cups Uncooked white rice

Vegetables

  • 1 piece Yellow onion, diced
  • 2 pieces Zucchinis, diced
  • 1 cup Baby bella mushrooms, chopped

Fats

  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, divided

Dairy

  • 3 large Eggs

Condiments

  • 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
  • 1 cup Teriyaki sauce or glaze

Spices

  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional

  • Yum Yum sauce (for drizzling)
  • Chopped green onions (for garnish)

Instructions

  • 1. Cook the Rice: Prepare the white rice according to package instructions. Allow it to cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours, or overnight if possible.
  • 2. Sauté the Veggies: Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat. Melt 1/4 cup of butter, then add the diced onion, zucchini, and chopped mushrooms. Sauté for 4–5 minutes until the veggies are tender but still have a bit of bite.
  • 3. Fry the Rice: Add the chilled rice directly to the hot griddle. Break up any clumps with your spatula. Drop in the remaining 1/4 cup butter and fry the rice until lightly golden and crispy.
  • 4. Scramble the Eggs: Crack the eggs onto the open space of the griddle. Use your spatula to scramble until just cooked, then fold them into the rice.
  • 5. Season the Rice: Drizzle the soy sauce over the rice. Season with black pepper and mix well. Add the sautéed veggies back in and stir to combine.
  • 6. Cook the Chicken: On a cleared section of your griddle or skillet, add the diced chicken. Cook until golden and almost cooked through, about 5–6 minutes. Pour over the teriyaki sauce and cook for another 7–8 minutes until fully cooked.
  • 7. Combine: Mix the teriyaki chicken into the rice and veggie mixture. Toss everything until well combined.
  • 8. Serve: Serve the hibachi-style fried rice piping hot. Drizzle with Yum Yum sauce if desired and sprinkle with chopped green onions.
