A quick and easy hibachi-style fried rice made on a Blackstone griddle, featuring tender chicken, fresh veggies, and a creamy, tangy yum yum sauce that adds a silky finish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice, chilled (day-old rice works best)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten (room temperature)
  • 1 cup boneless chicken breast or thigh, diced (can substitute shrimp or tofu)
  • 1/2 cup diced onion (yellow or white)
  • 1/2 cup chopped scallions
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (use tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable or canola oil
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • For the Creamy Yum Yum Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (Hellmann’s or Duke’s; use vegan mayo for vegan option)
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper or hot sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients: Dice chicken into 1/2 inch cubes. Chop onions, scallions, and shred carrots. Ensure jasmine rice is cold and separated.
  2. Make the yum yum sauce: Whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, rice vinegar, melted butter, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne, and sugar until smooth. Refrigerate.
  3. Cook the chicken: Heat vegetable oil on griddle or skillet over medium-high heat (~375°F). Sear chicken pieces without crowding for 2-3 minutes, then toss and cook until no longer pink, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  4. Scramble the eggs: Add more oil if needed. Pour in beaten eggs, cook undisturbed for 30 seconds, then fold gently until just set but moist. Remove and set aside with chicken.
  5. Sauté the veggies: Add onions, carrots, and peas to hot griddle. Stir-fry 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp.
  6. Add the rice: Crumble chilled rice over veggies. Stir constantly to break clumps and coat with oil. Fry about 5 minutes until heated through and slightly toasted.
  7. Combine everything: Return chicken and eggs to griddle. Pour soy sauce and sesame oil evenly over mixture. Stir and toss 2-3 minutes to blend flavors. Season with black pepper.
  8. Finish and serve: Spoon fried rice onto plates. Drizzle creamy yum yum sauce over top or serve on side. Garnish with chopped scallions.

Notes

Use day-old rice for best texture. Do not overcrowd the pan to achieve hibachi char. Stir constantly to prevent sticking and develop toasty bits. Make yum yum sauce ahead and chill for at least 30 minutes. Adjust spice level in sauce to taste. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari. Leftovers reheat best in skillet with splash of water or soy sauce.
