How to Make Benihana Japanese Fried Rice

  1. Cook 2 cups of rice according to package directions. Fluff with a fork and let cool completely.
  2. While rice cooks, whisk 2 large eggs in a bowl and scramble in a lightly oiled pan over medium heat. Remove from heat and chop into small, pea-sized pieces.
  3. Prepare your veggies: 1/2 cup frozen peas, 1/2 cup shredded carrots, and 1/2 cup finely diced yellow onion.
  4. Once the rice has cooled, add the prepared peas, carrots, scrambled eggs, and diced onion to a large bowl. Gently combine.
  5. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat.
  6. Add the rice mixture to the pan. Stir-fry for 6-8 minutes, until heated through and slightly crispy, constantly stirring to prevent burning.
  7. Season with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  8. Serve immediately and garnish with chopped green onions (optional).
