Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 Pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 Cups long-grain white rice
- 4 Cups chicken broth
Supporting Ingredients:
- ¾ Cup carrots
- 1 Cup frozen English peas
- 1 Medium sweet onion
- 2 Eggs
Seasoning and Flavoring:
- ½ Cup soy sauce
- 8 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 Tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 Tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 Teaspoon minced garlic
Instructions
- Marinate 1 pound of chicken pieces in ½ cup soy sauce for at least 3 hours in your refrigerator.
- Cook 2 cups of rice in 4 cups of chicken broth at medium heat, using 1 tablespoon of butter. Cool the rice completely before using.
- Heat a large skillet to medium temperature. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter with 1 tablespoon sesame oil and 1 teaspoon minced garlic.
- Pour 2 beaten eggs into the hot skillet. Scramble them quickly until just cooked through.
- Add ¾ cup chopped carrots, 1 cup frozen peas, and 1 chopped medium onion to the skillet. Cook for exactly 3 minutes.
- Transfer the marinated chicken to the skillet. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes until chicken is fully heated.
- Fold the cooled rice into the skillet, mixing thoroughly with the vegetable and meat mixture.
- Drizzle ¼ cup soy sauce over the rice. Gently stir to distribute evenly.
- Let the rice fry for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Ensure the bottom gets crispy and golden.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon sesame seeds on top before serving. Your hibachi-style rice is ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Marinate the chicken overnight for deeper flavor and more tender meat.
- Cold, day-old rice works best for achieving that perfect fried rice texture without becoming mushy.
- Let the rice develop a slight crispy bottom by allowing it to sit undisturbed in the skillet for a few minutes during cooking.
- For a lower-sodium version, use reduced-sodium soy sauce and add flavor with fresh ginger or garlic powder instead.
