Ingredients

Hibachi Garlic Butter

  • 1 Stick of Butter Room Temperature
  • 2 Cloves of Garlic Grated
  • 1 tsp Salt and Pepper Each

Chicken Fried Rice

  • 2 Cups Cooked White Rice
  • 1 Tbsp Rice Vinegar Optional
  • 2 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
  • 1 Chicken Breast Diced into Bite Size Cubes
  • 1 tsp Salt, Pepper, and Garlic Powder Each
  • 1 Onion Diced
  • 1 Cup Frozen Peas and Carrots
  • 1 Tbsp Ginger Grated
  • 1-2 Tbsp Chili Paste
  • 4 Eggs Scrambled
  • 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
  • Salt, Pepper, and Garlic Powder Extra for Taste
  • 1 Bunch Green Onions Chopped Green Parts Only

Instructions

  • Cook your rice early. If you can make it a day ahead or even that morning, do so. After cooking, add rice vinegar and mix around. Store in the fridge in an air tight container.

Hibachi Garlic Butter

  • Mix butter, grated garlic, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Cut up your chicken and onion.
  • Bring a wok or pan to medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and cook your chicken. Add 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, and garlic powder to your chicken. Once you add the chicken to the pan let it cook for 2-3 minutes before moving. This allows the chicken to get a good sear. See notes about wok!
  • Cook chicken for 6-8 minutes or until you reach an internal temp of 162 degrees. Right before you pull the chicken off, add 1/3 of the garlic butter mixture. Cook until melted. Pull chicken and set aside.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok. Add your onions and cook for 3-4 minutes or until they are soft. Add frozen peas and carrots. Cook for another minute.
  • Add cooked rice, ginger, 1/3 of the garlic butter, and chili paste. Mix everything together. Let it cook/fry for 10 minutes. Tossing every 2 minutes or so. Taste and adjust seasoning as you go.
  • Make a well in the middle of the rice and add scramble eggs. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Toss everything together.
  • Add soy sauce, the last of the garlic butter, chopped green onions, and cooked chicken. Toss everything together. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

I purchased my wok about 2 months ago and I do not know how I have lived without one! It cooks on all surfaces, cooks hot and fast, and has high sides that are perfect for liquids or large portion dishes. You can find it here https://amzn.to/427WdFf
