How to Make Benihana Hibachi Chicken Rice

  1. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a saucepan; bring to a boil.
  2. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed.
  3. While the rice is cooking, prepare the chicken: Heat butter in a large skillet or hibachi grill pan over medium-high heat.
  4. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through (about 6-8 minutes).
  5. Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger; cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil.
  7. Pour the sauce over the chicken; cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly and coats the chicken.
  8. Fluff the cooked rice with a fork. Gently stir in the cooked chicken and sauce.
  9. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately.
