Description
A quick and flavorful hibachi fried rice recipe that’s perfect for health-conscious families, captured from childhood memories of the Japanese steakhouse experience.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs, well beaten
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- ½ cup sweet onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups cooked and cooled long-grain white rice
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 green onions (green parts only), thinly sliced
Instructions
- Heat the wok: In a wok or large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- Cook the eggs: Pour in the beaten eggs and stir gently until nearly cooked but still slightly wet, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer the eggs back to the bowl.
- Sauté the onions: Add the salted butter and diced sweet onion to the skillet. Cook until the onions become translucent, stirring occasionally, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Warm the rice: Add the cooked and cooled rice to the skillet, mixing everything together. Cook until the rice is heated through, stirring occasionally, for about 3-5 minutes.
- Combine ingredients: Return the cooked eggs to the skillet and add the soy sauce. Stir to combine, breaking up the eggs into smaller pieces, and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Finish with green onions: Fold in the thinly sliced green onions and serve hot.
Notes
For best results, use day-old rice. Customize with your choice of vegetables or proteins for a heartier meal.
