Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tbsp safflower oil
8 oz chicken thighs
2 cups rice ((cooked and cold) ** check the Notes)
2 tbsp garlic butter ((+ 1 tsp extra for the rice - this is optional))
3 eggs
¼ cup green onions ((sliced))
¼ cup onion ((diced))
¼ cup carrots ((diced))
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp fish sauce
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
2 tbsp sesame seeds
2 tbsp green onions
1 stick unsalted butter ((softened at room temperature))
2 cloves garlic ((minced))
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp soy sauce

Steps:

  • Break the cold rice using fork. Set aside. Cut the veggies and set aside.
  • Using wok or skillet, heat the safflower oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken and stir occasionally until it turned to lightly brown, firm and opaque throughout.
  • Season with salt and pepper, continue to stir and add 2 tbsp of garlic butter and stir to coat the chicken.
  • Push the chicken on the side and add the green onions, onions and carrots. Stir until softened. Scramble the eggs (season the eggs with salt and pepper). Stir and combine all together.
  • Add the cold rice, season with oyster sauce and fish sauce. Stir and stir until the rice is warm and brown.
  • Serve hot and top with green onions and sesame seeds.
  • Gather all the ingredients and combine in a bowl using a folding method.
  • Gently fold the room temperature UNSALTED butter toward the center of the bowl until the ingredients are evenly mixed.
  • Once you get the desired even color, you have reached the right consistency. You can stop right there because you don't want the butter to soften too much while at room temperature.
  • Place the garlic butter mixture in a container (with airtight lid) and store in the fridge for future use. The butter will last for at least 3 weeks or will be good for a month if being stored in the fridge (in an airtight lid container).

BENIHANA FRIED RICE

Don't live near a Benihana? Don't worry, you can make a copycat recipe for Benihana Fried Rice.

Provided by Stephanie Manley

Categories     Side Dish

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup white rice
2 cups water
3 tablespoons sesame seeds
5 tablespoons butter
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped carrots
2/3 cup chopped scallions (green onions)
3 tablespoons garlic butter
5 eggs (beaten)
5 tablespoons soy sauce
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cook the rice in the water according to package directions. For best results, spread the cooked rice in a shallow metal pan and stick it in the freezer to cool quickly. Do not let it freeze, though. If you don't have time to chill the rice, just spread it out so it cools completely.
  • While the rice is cooking and cooling, spread the sesame seeds in a shallow baking pan. Bake until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes, shaking pan occasionally for even color. Remove from the oven.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet. Add the onions, carrots, and scallions. Cook, stirring from time to time, until the onions are translucent. Remove from the heat and set aside. Heat another large skillet or a wok if you have one. Add a splash of oil and swirl it around. Pour the eggs into the hot skillet. Cook as you would scrambled eggs. When the eggs are barely done, add the vegetables, rice, 2 tablespoons of the garlic butter (you can add more if desired) and sesame seeds and sprinkle with the soy sauce. Stir-fry until everything is mixed and hot. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

FRIED RICE LIKE AT BENIHANA



Fried Rice Like at Benihana image

I found this recipe online. It's mostly like all the others, but this one tells you to cool the rice after you cook it before you actually make the fried rice. This is the way I prefer to make it. I don't know why, but for some reason every time I don't let the rice get cold it just doesn't taste as good. It's supposed to be one of those restaurant's secret recipes and it sure is good. PS - I modify it every time I make it by adding new things, etc. Add as much or as little soy sauce as you like, I tend to add a little more. This fried rice can be prepared ahead of time by cooking the rice,. then adding the peas, carrots and egg plus half of the soy sauce. Keep this refrigerated until you are ready to fry it in the butter. That's when you add the salt, pepper and remaining soy sauce.
