Hibachi Fried Rice is a savory Japanese-inspired rice dish loaded with buttery flavor, soy sauce, vegetables, and fluffy scrambled eggs. This quick and satisfying recipe tastes just like restaurant-style hibachi fried rice and is perfect as a side dish or easy meal.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups cooked cold rice
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 cup diced carrots
  • 1/2 cup peas
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup cooked chicken, shrimp, or steak (optional)

Instructions

  1. Use cold cooked rice for the best fried rice texture.
  2. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  3. Melt the butter in the skillet.
  4. Add the diced onion, carrots, and garlic, then cook until slightly softened.
  5. Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and scramble the eggs on the other side until fully cooked.
  6. Add the cooked rice and break up any clumps with a spatula.
  7. Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil.
  8. Add the peas and green onions.
  9. Toss everything together until evenly coated and heated through.
  10. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  11. Add cooked chicken, shrimp, or steak if desired and stir until warmed through.
  12. Serve hot immediately.

Notes

  • Cold day-old rice works best because it stays firm and prevents mushy fried rice.
  • Use jasmine rice or long-grain white rice for authentic texture.
  • Add sriracha or chili flakes for a spicy variation.
  • Frozen peas and carrots are a quick and convenient option.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat with a splash of soy sauce or water to refresh the rice.
