How to Make Benihana Style Fried Rice
- Whisk 2 large eggs with a splash of water. Scramble in a hot pan with 1 tbsp oil until cooked through. Remove from pan and chop roughly.
- In the same pan, sauté 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/4 cup chopped green onions, and 1/2 cup shredded carrots with 1 tbsp oil until softened (about 5 minutes). Add the chopped scrambled eggs and 1 cup cooked chicken (diced).
- Add 3 cups cooked, day-old rice (broken into smaller pieces) to the pan. Mix gently with the vegetables and chicken, distributing evenly.
- Stir in 1 tbsp sesame seeds, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Mix well to combine.
- Add 1 tbsp butter and 2 tbsp soy sauce to the mixture. Stir continuously until the rice is heated through and nicely coated (about 2-3 minutes).
- Serve immediately and garnish with extra green onions, if desired.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
