Hibachi Recipe

Pinklady
The word “hibachi” refers to a “fire bowl” in Japanese, a traditional heating device used for warmth and cooking. Over time, the term evolved to describe a style of cooking on a high-heat flat grill. While hibachi-style restaurants are popular worldwide, they’ve become synonymous with entertaining chefs, flavorful dishes, and a dining experience that blends performance with taste.

    Add the beaten eggs and scramble them lightly.
    Toss in the chilled rice and stir until evenly coated with oil.
    Mix in soy sauce, peas, carrots, and green onions. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently.
