Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Begin by dicing the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and placing them in a bowl. Add sesame oil, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, minced garlic, and grated fresh ginger, mixing well to ensure the chicken is fully coated. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently until it’s golden brown and fully cooked through.
- If you’re starting with uncooked rice, prepare it using your preferred method. Aim for about 15 minutes cooking time, so it’s fluffy but not mushy. If using pre-cooked rice, ensure it's cold, ideally stored in the fridge overnight—it will yield the best fried rice texture. Set the rice aside as you move to the next steps.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine light mayo, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and Dijon mustard. Whisk these ingredients until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated, creating a delicious mustard dipping sauce. Cover and refrigerate this sauce to allow the flavors to meld while you continue preparing the Hibachi Chicken.
- Using the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add a drizzle of olive oil. Toss in thinly sliced carrots, halved mushrooms, chopped yellow onion, and zucchini. Sauté these colorful vegetables for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender-crisp and vibrant.
- In the same skillet with the vegetables, toss in butter and let it melt. Add minced garlic and sauté briefly until fragrant, then introduce the cooked rice and a splash of soy sauce. Create a well in the center of the rice to scramble in a whisked egg, folding everything together after the egg is cooked, and stir in sliced green onions for added freshness.
- To serve your delightful Hibachi Chicken, spoon a generous portion of the fried rice onto each plate. Top it with the sautéed chicken and vibrant vegetables. Finish by drizzling the chilled mustard sauce on the side.
