• Day-old rice works best because it stays firm and fries without becoming mushy.
• Keep the griddle hot so the rice develops light crispy edges for authentic hibachi texture.
• Use two spatulas to chop and toss ingredients easily, just like restaurant hibachi chefs.

Equipment
Method
- Preheat the Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat until the surface is very hot and lightly smoking. Add vegetable oil and spread it evenly across the cooking area.
- Place the cubed chicken on the griddle and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for 5–6 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden and cooked through.
- Push the chicken to one side of the griddle. Add butter, zucchini, mushrooms, onions, and carrots to the empty space and cook until vegetables become tender and slightly browned.
- Add minced garlic to the vegetables and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Pour the beaten eggs onto the griddle and scramble them with a spatula until fully cooked and softly set.
- Add the cooked rice to the griddle and break up any clumps with the spatula. Stir everything together so the rice mixes with the eggs, chicken, and vegetables.
- Drizzle soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, and sesame oil over the rice mixture. Stir and toss for 2–3 minutes until the rice is hot and lightly crisped in spots.
- Sprinkle green onions over the top and give everything one final toss. Serve immediately while hot.
