Tips to make the best Hibachi Fried Rice
- Use a Large Pan: As it's done in any Hibachi Restaurant, use a large wok or a big pan. I also, use my Cast iron skillet for this recipe sometimes. It gets heated through very quickly and gives enough room for the rice to get fried to perfection. Using a small pan will steam the rice and the rice will get mushy and sticky
- Cook over high heat: Always cook over high heat. The high heat will cook the veggies quickly. If you cook over medium-high or low heat, the veggies will start to steam and release moisture.
- Leftover Rice: Hibachi Fried Rice tastes the best with leftover rice. I like to use 1-day old rice for this recipe. If you don't have leftover rice, then cook the rice and then cool it down completely, and then use it.
Proteins in Hibachi Fried Rice
You can add Chicken or Shrimp or Salmon to your fried rice. I like to use Shrimp or Chicken because it cooks really quickly. Also, it makes this a wholesome meal in itself. You can also add Hibachi Grilled Chicken to this fried rice.
