Making copycat Benihana fried rice from home couldn’t be easier. Mix up your ingredients and within no time have a readily made dish straight from the Benihana restaurant.
2 pounds of chicken breast, cubed into small pieces
1 cup of chopped carrot (either frozen or about 2 large fresh carrots)
1 large white or yellow onion, chopped
A handful of scallions, finely sliced
Oil (safflower or canola)
For the rice:
2 cups of white rice
3 cups of water
Pinch of saltTo finish the Benihana style fried rice:
4 eggs
Salt and pepper as desired
Toasted sesame seeds (optional)
Be watchful of the soy sauce and salt; it’s easy to overdo them both. There should be just enough soy sauce to make the rice golden brown, not dark. Taste the cooked rice before you season.
