Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
1 cup diced yellow onion
1 cup diced carrots
1 cup frozen peas and carrots
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups cooked white rice, day-old is best
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
For the Yum Yum Sauce:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp ketchup
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
In a bowl, toss chicken pieces with 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, garlic powder, and black pepper. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Prepare the Yum Yum Sauce: Whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, rice vinegar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if using) in a small bowl. Set aside.
Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the skillet. Add diced onion and carrots, and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
Add the cooked rice, 2 tbsp soy sauce, oyster sauce, and 1 tsp sesame oil to the skillet. Stir well to combine and heat through, about 3-5 minutes.
Push the rice and vegetables to one side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs onto the empty side and scramble until cooked.
Add the cooked chicken and peas and carrots to the skillet. Stir everything together to combine.
Serve the hibachi chicken and fried rice immediately, with the Yum Yum sauce on the side.
Notes
For best results, use day-old rice for your fried rice.
Adjust the amount of soy sauce and oyster sauce to your taste.
You can add other vegetables like broccoli florets or bell peppers.
For a spicier kick, add more cayenne pepper to the Yum Yum sauce.
