Better than take out fried rice!
Get out your tall chef’s hat – It’s time to make your kitchen smell like a Hibachi grill!
This dish is such a hit at our house. My husband is a Hibachi lover and would eat fried rice 3 times a day if he could. I make a big batch of this and we eat delicious leftovers for days. Not to mention, this is also quite fun to make. Did you ever see a grumpy Hibachi chef? I think not. They get to play with their food all the time. 😀
Get all of your ingredients measured and ready
This recipe goes pretty quickly so you need to have everything ready to go. Make sure your carrots and onions are the same size dice as they will need to cook evenly together. The frozen peas are tossed in at the very end to ensure they still have a yummy bursting texture.
Another beautiful thing about this fried rice is that you can either serve it with your favorite protein, or add your favorite protein to it.
We love to marinate a pork loin in a teriyaki sauce blend, grill it and slice it up alongside the rice. Chicken and shrimp are also fabulous mixed in.
You just can’t go wrong with something this versatile, delicious and inexpensive.
