Fried rice is a favorite at Japanese steakhouses.
Japanese steakhouses feature traditional teppanyaki, a cooking style in which skilled chefs grill food on hot griddles inches away from dazzled customers. Favorite dishes in American Japanese steakhouses include hibachi shrimp and teriyaki chicken. The high heat sears meat to keep in moisture, and grilled vegetables are crispy and flavorful. Japanese steakhouse chefs also make some of the best fried rice, with a firm yet light texture that home cooks find hard to recreate.
Instructions
Fried Rice
1. Heat oil in a wok or skillet till just before smoking. A wok gives you the same high heat as the griddles at Japanese steakhouses.
2. Add whisked eggs and stir quickly to avoid burning.
3. Add cooked rice and mix with the eggs evenly. Break down the rice to get rid of all clumps.
4. Throw in green onions and soy sauce. Taste for saltiness. The soy sauce also gives the light brown color. If you want the fried rice to be darker, add a little extra soy sauce.
5. Add pepper to taste. Give it a final stir and serve hot.
