hibachi at home--Private hibachi


Making hibachi at home can be a fun and delicious experience. Here’s a simple way to recreate the hibachi experience with ingredients you can easily find and a few essential tools:


Ingredients:


• Proteins: Chicken, shrimp, steak (sirloin or ribeye), and/or scallops

• Vegetables: Zucchini, mushrooms, onion, bell peppers, and carrots

• Rice: Cooked white rice or fried rice

• Sauces:

• Soy sauce

• Teriyaki sauce

• Hibachi-style dipping sauce (a simple mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and a bit of sugar)

• Seasonings: Salt, pepper, garlic, ginger, and sesame seeds

• Butter: For cooking the proteins and vegetables

• Optional sides: Yum yum sauce (a creamy, mildly spicy sauce) and pickled ginger


Equipment:


• A large cast-iron skillet or a flat-top griddle

• A spatula or large flat spoon for flipping and stirring

• A sharp knife for slicing vegetables and meat


Instructions:


1. Prep Ingredients:

• Slice your protein (steak, chicken, shrimp) into bite-sized pieces.

• Slice vegetables (zucchini, mushrooms, onions, etc.) into thin strips.

• Cook your rice in advance if making fried rice, or prepare white rice for serving.

2. Cook the Proteins:

• Heat a cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.

• Add a small amount of oil or butter.

• Cook your proteins in batches, starting with the meat and shrimp, adding seasoning as you go. Set them aside once cooked.

3. Sauté the Vegetables:

• In the same skillet, add more butter if needed and sauté the vegetables. Season with salt, pepper, and a little garlic or ginger.

• Stir frequently for even cooking, ensuring they remain tender yet slightly crisp.

4. Fried Rice (Optional):

• If you’re making fried rice, use the same skillet once the vegetables are done. Add a little more butter, toss in cooked rice, and stir to break up any clumps. Season with soy sauce, a dash of sesame oil, and chopped green onions.

5. Serve and Enjoy:

• Arrange the cooked proteins, vegetables, and rice on plates.

• Serve with sauces on the side for dipping, and optionally drizzle with yum yum sauce.


Tips:


• For extra flavor, you can add a splash of sake or white wine when cooking the proteins.

• If you’re cooking for multiple people, keeping everything warm can be tricky. Consider prepping everything in advance and cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
