What Makes This Recipe So Good

  • Like with our hibachi chicken and hibachi steak recipes, we took everything you love about a classic Japanese restaurant dinner and turned it into an easy-to-make, delicious meal you can enjoy without ever leaving your house. If you’re trying to eat out less but missing your favorite dishes, we’ve got you covered.
  • This fried rice recipe couldn’t be more perfect! We’re using leftover rice (the way it was intended!), vegetables, soy sauce, scrambled eggs, and a little butter for the most tender, most flavorful, best restaurant-style fried rice you could ever hope to make at home.
  • The mustard sauce ties all the components of the dish together beautifully with a little tang, complimented by a little sweetness. It’s not at all spicy, and it’s so easy to make, you’ll want to use it on everything.

Chef’s Tips

  • For the best possible fried rice, cook your rice a day or two in advance, or use store-bought, pre-cooked rice. If you don’t have time to cook the rice in advance, you can use fresh cooked rice… it just won’t be quite the same.
  • I recommend lightly toasting the mustard seeds before you make the mustard sauce. Toasting them just enhances their flavor and makes the sauce even more rich. It’s optional, though, so feel free to skip it if you want.
  • Feel free to replace the zucchini and mushrooms with broccoli, snap peas, carrots, or yellow squash. That’s another great thing about at-home hibachi – you can make it exactly what you like!
