Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Hibachi Chicken
  1. Prepare the chicken by mixing diced chicken breasts with sesame oil, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, minced garlic, and fresh ginger in a bowl. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for about 10 minutes until golden brown.
  2. Cook the white rice according to your method. If using pre-cooked rice, make sure it's refrigerated and ready to fry, taking about 15 minutes.
  3. Make the mustard sauce by whisking together light mayo, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl until smooth.
  4. Sauté the vegetables in the same skillet with olive oil for about 5 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
  5. Prepare the fried rice by melting butter in the skillet, adding garlic, then cooked rice, and drizzling with soy sauce. Scramble in the egg and fold in the green onions.
  6. Serve fried rice topped with chicken and sautéed vegetables. Drizzle with mustard sauce on the side.
