How to Make Benihana Style Fried Rice

  1. 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.
  2. 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).
  3. Add 3 cups cooked, day-old rice (broken into smaller pieces) to the pan. Mix gently with the vegetables and chicken, distributing evenly.
  4. Stir in 1 tbsp sesame seeds, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Mix well to combine.
  5. 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).
  6. Serve immediately and garnish with extra green onions, if desired.
