1 tsp toasted sesame oil
1 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
For Cooking the Chicken:
2 tbsp peanut oil
For the Vegetables:

1 cup carrots, sliced
1 1/2 cups yellow onion, sliced
2 cups mushrooms, quartered
2 cups zucchini, sliced
For the Fried Rice:
1/4 cup peanut oil

1 tbsp garlic, grated
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
3 cups cooked jasmine rice, cooled
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
For Serving:

Yum yum sauce (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the sauce: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, hoisin sauce, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, sugar, and rice vinegar.
Marinate chicken: Add cubed chicken to the sauce and toss until evenly coated.
Cook chicken: Heat peanut oil in a skillet over high heat. Add chicken in a single layer, cook undisturbed to caramelize, then stir and cook until fully done. Remove and set aside.
Cook vegetables: In the same skillet, heat oil and sauté carrots and onions. Add mushrooms and zucchini, cooking until tender-crisp. Set aside.
Make fried rice: Heat oil in another pan. Add scrambled egg, garlic, and green onions. Stir in rice and cook until slightly crispy. Add soy sauce and mix well.
Assemble: Serve fried rice with hibachi chicken and vegetables. Garnish with green onions and serve with yum yum sauce.
Notes
Use day-old rice for the best fried rice texture.
Cook on high heat to achieve authentic hibachi-style caramelization.
Avoid overcrowding the pan for even cooking.
Substitute peanut oil with vegetable or canola oil if needed.
You can swap chicken for shrimp, steak, or tofu.
