Hibachi Fried Rice

5 from 4 votes

Easy and flavorful, this healthier hibachi fried rice is the perfect side dish for my hibachi steak and hibachi chicken recipes! Made with leftover rice, you could even throw it together and top with your favorite protein; we love it with everything from this air fryer shrimp and my pan fried salmon to this Asian pork tenderloin!

Ingredients

2 ½ cups brown rice cooked and cooled
2 eggs
2 tsp avocado oil or sub additional butter
3 ½ tsp butter, vegan butter, or ghee divided
2 carrots chopped small
½ onion diced
2 cloves garlic minced
1 Tbsp fresh ginger minced
½ cup frozen peas
4 Tbsp coconut aminos
½ tsp sesame oil
salt
green onions finely sliced

Instructions

Heat ½ tsp of butter in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add eggs to the pan and scramble, stirring occasionally until cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
Add another 1 tsp of butter to the pan and heat until melted. Add in carrots and onions. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add in 1-2 Tablespoons of water, if needed, to help veggies cook. Add in garlic and ginger and cook for an additional minute. Stir in frozen peas.
Add 2 tsp of butter and 2 tsp avocado oil to the pan, increase heat to high, then immediately add in the rice. Season with ¼ tsp of salt. Saute 3-5 minutes to fry the rice. I like to give the rice time to crisp up at the bottom of the pan, so I don’t stir too much.
Stir in coconut aminos and allow flavors to combine. Add eggs and continue to stir until eggs are warmed and well incorporated. Remove from heat.
Drizzle with ½ tsp of sesame oil and garnish with green onions. Taste and add additional salt, if needed.

Notes

21 Day Fix: 1 YELLOW, ½ GREEN, 1 tsp (per serving)

- For best results, use rice that has been precooked and placed in your refrigerator and your fried rice will take on the signature crispiness.
- If you add extra veggies, saute them separately so that you don't crowd the pan and you can get a good crisp on your rice.
- My favorite way to meal prep rice is this Instant Pot Brown Rice! It's freezer friendly, too, so great to grab if you need a quick dinner side or prepared rice for this yummy recipe.
- Store leftover fried rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Freeze leftover rice in a freezer safe airtight container for up to 3 months.
