Hibachi Fried Rice
Hibachi Fried Rice involves stir-frying day-old jasmine rice with diced onions, carrots, peas, eggs, garlic, and ginger in oil. Seasoned with soy sauce and sesame oil and finished with green onions, this rice has a balance of savory flavors and textures from tender vegetables and fluffy scrambled eggs, creating a staple side dish common in hibachi cuisine.
Ingredients
- 3 cups jasmine rice preferably day-old, cooked and cooled
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil divided
- 1 onion finely diced, medium
- 2 carrot diced small

- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
