Steps:

• Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Toast the sesame seeds until golden and lightly fragrant. Remove from heat.

• Transfer the chicken, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, garlic and ginger in a bowl. Mix well. Set aside.
• Heat a heavy bottomed or cast iron skillet until smoking hot. Add the garlic butter. Sear the chicken on all sides until completely cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside. If cooking vegetables, do not turn off the heat.

BENIHANA HIBACHI CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl, stir together the ingredients for the sauce of the hibachi chicken. Combine the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, grated garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, granulated sugar, and rice wine vinegar.
• Place the cubed boneless skinless chicken breasts into a large mixing bowl, pour the sauce over the chicken pieces and stir together to coat all the chicken.
• To cook the chicken, you will use a very large, heavy-duty skillet on high heat, and add the 2 tablespoons peanut oil. Once the oil gets hot, add the chicken and sauce in a single layer. Do not move the chicken pieces for at least 2 to 3 minutes to allow the chicken to start to caramelize. Continue to cook the chicken, stirring occasionally, for another 3 to 4 minutes or until cooked through.
• Transfer the cooked chicken, using a slotted spoon or fish spatula, to a large plate and set aside while you make the rest of the recipe.
• If you have more than 1 to 2 tablespoons of liquid remaining in your skillet after you remove the cooked chicken, you will want to remove the excess liquid before adding the vegetables to sauté.
• Turn the heat down to medium-high and add the 1 tablespoon peanut oil to the hot skillet that the chicken was just cooked in and removed from, then add the carrots and onions and cook for 2 to 3 minutes before adding the mushrooms and zucchini to the skillet. Continue to sauté for an additional 3 to 5 minutes or until the vegetables are cooked to a crisp-tender texture. Make sure to stir the vegetables occasionally to prevent burning.
• Transfer the cooked vegetables to a large plate and set them aside.
• To cook the fried rice, add the ¼ cup peanut oil into a separate large skillet on medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the scrambled egg to the hot skillet and cook the egg for 20 to 30 seconds before adding the grated garlic and green onions. Cook for another 30 seconds before adding the pre-cooked jasmine rice. Stir to combine the rice with the other ingredients, then spread the rice mixture into an even layer and allow the rice to fry in the pan, undisturbed, for 3 minutes. This allows the rice to start to get a nice crisp to it. Give the rice a good stir from that point every 2 to 3 minutes for a total of 10 minutes.
• Add the ¼ cup soy sauce to the crisp rice, stir to evenly coat all the rice with the soy sauce. Allow the rice to fry for an additional 4 to 5 minutes or until the rice is nice and fried. You will garnish your fried rice with a sprinkle of the additional 2 tablespoons of fresh green onions if desired.
• Using a ¾ cup dry measuring cup, portion out the fried rice between 4 dinner plates. Add ¾ cup mixed vegetables and a ¾ to 1 cup portion of cooked chicken to each plate, keeping the fried rice, mixed vegetables, and chicken separated on each dinner plate. Garnish each serving with a small bowl of the YumYum sauce to dip the chicken.
