This quick and simple recipe for hibachi-style fried rice is guaranteed to be a success. The fried rice at hibachi is one of my favorite dishes, so I was determined to make it at home. I like to make my fried rice using leftover teriyaki chicken, but you may use any type of meat or even none at all. It is a fantastic side dish and equally good with or without chicken. Depending on your own preference, you can add more or less garlic.

This is actually an easy recipe to make. Instead of 1/4 c olive oil, I did half olive oil and half sesame oil. It was delicious!!
Quick and easy and SO DELICIOUS! I used chopped pork chops instead of chicken.
Love the recipe. Very easy to make. I added a small yellow onion, frozen peas, corn and green beans. Its delicious. A definite keeper. Thank you for sharing.
Egg is the last thing to go in. Otherwise very good
You are missing a very important item….sake. It is what makes it Japanese hibachi. 🙂
Yo definitely have to use cold leftover rice. Usually I add some frozen peas and carrots.
I used day old medium grain calrose rice like they do at Benihana and it turned out well. Next time I’ll use a neutral oil like canola since the flavor provided by the olive oil was a bit on the Mediterranean side. Adding roasted sesame seeds before serving is also good.
I have played around with this recipe quite a bit. I usually grill on Saturdays and use whatever I have leftover on Sunday as the protein in this recipe. I have also used pan seared spam with a can of crushed pineapple. I usually add a bag of frozen mixed vegetables that I add towards the end so they still have some texture but are good and warmed through. Lots of potential for variation with this one. Also, I use coconut aminos in place of soy sauce, much less sodium and no soy for those with dietary restrictions.
I really love this recipe. I use half olive oil half sesame oil. I like the added flavor of the sesame oil.
The Fam loved it. no leftovers to fight over. Easy to make and very flavorful. i did make 1 small change, and cooked my rice in chicken broth. yummmmmm
This was one of the best fried rice recipes that I’ve made! I was looking for a way to use up some leftover white rice and diced up rotisserie chicken, and this was perfect. I also added in some diced zucchini and a bit of sesame oil at the end. Both my husband and I agreed that this was very good and one that we should make again. Quick and easy too!
OMG! This was a big hit at dinner tonight! I did make one small addition – I added some edamame. Otherwise, I made it as directed. It tasted so much like what I’ve had at hibachi restaurants and it was so easy!!
Very easy to make, I cooked a whole ” beer can chicken” and used the breast for the meat. That way you still have legs, thighs and wings basically for the same money as just using breasts. Very good!
I used shrimp and peas instead of chicken and green onion respectively. I even tried it with sesame oil instead of olive oil once! Solid recipe. If you like a rich taste, even butter is an option.
Really easy and tasty. Only thing is next time I’m gonna cut back on the garlic a little. Just my preference.
My step son and his best friend said they felt like they were eating at a hibachi grill place! We all absolutely loved it! Next time, I’m going to add shrimp, scallops and lobster into it as well!!
Needs more eggs, more oil, and more soy sauce, but amazing otherwise
Delish and quick! I used 2 day old jasmine rice and cut up leftover baked chicken breast. I kicked it up a notch by adding a little cayenne pepper and green onion. Outstanding!
Exremly good
Easy to make and easy to customize. Best tasting homemade fried rice ever.
I used rice refrigerated overnight and safflower sesame oil for wok fried taste.
