Hibachi Chicken
Hibachi Chicken is a Japanese steakhouse favorite made with tender chicken, sautéed vegetables, and a savory soy-ginger sauce, often served with fried rice or noodles.
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp mirin or honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups zucchini sliced
- 1 cup mushrooms sliced
- 1/2 onion sliced
- Optional: sesame seeds and chopped scallions for garnish
Instructions
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or hibachi grill over medium-high heat.
- Add chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
- Push the chicken to one side and add butter, garlic, and sesame oil to the pan.
- Stir in soy sauce, rice vinegar, mirin, and ginger. Mix everything together to coat the chicken.
- Add zucchini, mushrooms, and onion to the pan. Cook for another 5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Serve hot, optionally garnished with sesame seeds and scallions. Pair with fried rice or noodles.
Notes
- Use chicken thighs for a juicier result.
- Adjust soy sauce to taste if using reduced-sodium versions.
- Add a drizzle of yum yum sauce for extra flavor.
