Chef’s Tips
- The fried rice was invented as a way to use up leftover old rice. To make hibachi rice, use pre-cooked rice instead of freshly cooked rice. Use precooked rice from the grocery store for fried hibachi rice that tastes even better than restaurant-quality.
- If you are grain-free, you can easily substitute cauliflower rice for the rice.
- It is not necessary to lightly toast the sesame seeds for the mustard sauce, but it will improve the flavor.

Instructions for Hibachi Chicken With Fried Rice And Vegetables
1. For the Fried Rice
- In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons avocado oil over medium-high heat. Sauté the diced onion and frozen vegetables until the onions are almost translucent, about 3 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to the pan’s side. Scramble the eggs in the pan with a spatula until they are cooked through and fully scrambled.
- 4 cups cooked rice and 4 tablespoons melted butter Cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Cook for 1 minute more after adding 4 tablespoons of soy sauce. To keep the fried rice warm, pack it tightly into bowls.
2. For the Chicken and Vegetables (Made Simultaneously)
- In the same skillet or wok used for the fried rice, heat ½ teaspoon sesame oil and 1 tablespoon avocado oil. In a skillet, combine the chicken, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon butter, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Stir only once or twice to allow the chicken to brown
3. For the vegetables:
- Heat 1 ½ teaspoon sesame oil and 1 tablespoon avocado oil in a separate large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. To the skillet, add the sliced onion, baby Bella mushrooms, zucchini, 1 tablespoon butter, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
4. For the Mustard Sauce
- If desired, lightly toast the sesame seeds. In a blender, combine sesame seeds, dry mustard, 2 teaspoons honey, 4 tablespoons soy sauce, half and half, hot water, and minced garlic.
- For the best-fried rice, try: Before making fried rice, don’t cook the rice right away. It’s best to use leftover or store-bought pre-cooked rice.
- To make the mustard sauce: Sesame seeds can be lightly toasted to enhance the flavor, but it is not required. The mustard sauce can be made ahead of time and refrigerated.
- To make it grain-free, replace rice with cauliflower rice.5. Recipe yields approximately 6 servings.
