ReplyDeleteJust curious - saw this on Pinterest. How did this turn out???
ReplyDeleteI too am curious. Do you have an update? Looks really good.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like it would be a pretty close match. I remember them always putting a huge pat of butter in the rice! I'm going to try this one!!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds awesome ... I'm going to try it this week.
ReplyDeleteI just made it and I thought it was too "greasy." Next time I probably won't add as much butter; although I only used about 3 tablespoons. It was good though; I used shrimp instead of chicken too.
ReplyDeleteI made this for dinner and I think it is missing something. I am not sure what it is but it wasn't quite right. I don't think I will make it again.
ReplyDeleteit's missing the garlic !!! they don't just use any kind of butter, they use their special garlic butter! that's what makes it stand out from all the other fried rice! they also use a particular kind of oil too, can't remember what, but that might also affect the fried rice too.
ReplyDeleteI made it last night and it was great! I used 3 T of butter and no oil. I put about 1/2 T of minced garlic with the butter when I sauted veggies. We ate it with extra soy sauce and it was yummy!
ReplyDeletegarlic butter and sunflower oil are what makes the benihana fried rice. i asked the chef personally when out eating last week. hope that helps.
ReplyDeleteyeah pretty sure the difference is the garlic buter and sunflower oil... Good call Swampscorch
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's sunflower oil. I think it's toasted sesame oil.
ReplyDeleteThey squirt sake wine in it at all of our hibachi places.
ReplyDeleteThe secret to really good fried rice is to make the rice the night before. Let it rest in the fridge uncovered for 24 hours. That lets the rice dry out a little. The other part of not having greasy, wet rice it that you don't use soy sauce or butter. What you want is the thicker Oyster Sauce. Lee Kum Chee is the best brand. It's think like ketchup and adds the perfect Ummai taste to it. Drizzle a little on hard boiled eggs. Yum.
ReplyDeleteThis is very similar to how I make mine but I add ginger. That is what gives it that yummy "fried rice flavor"
ReplyDeleteI made this again last night and added the fresh grated ginger, 2 garlic cloves and like the revisions so I changed the recipe. It's really yummy with shrimp as well!
ReplyDeleteI have to make that. It looks amazing. thanks for sharing

The other secret to great fried rice is getting the right rice. Uncle Bens will not do. You need to go to an Asian grocery store and ask, they will point you in the right direction and tell you how to cook it. It makes a HUGE difference!
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing. Found you through Pinterest...can't wait to read more.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds good. I have always wanted to make fried rice at home too, so I'll try it. I just joined your blog, and hope you will stop by to visit mine. We used to live in Germantown.
ReplyDeleteOur hibachi uses peanut butter in their fried rice but you can't taste it. Maybe that is what's missing?
ReplyDeleteThis recipe is now a favorite in our house. I love the addition of garlic and fresh ginger. Love it!
ReplyDeletetwo things the author forgot to mention. The rice must be cooked, then cooled before adding to the other items. 2nd, in addition to the tablespoon or so of oil for the veggies, you should use about a teaspoon of sesame oil. It adds much needed flavor.
ReplyDeleteI made this tonight and it was amazing!! I used Garlic Garlic from Tastefully Simple though instead of cloves of garlic! I use three ladies brand jasmine rice too!
ReplyDeleteI used the same amount of butter, but added more of the veggies this already called for. I also added green onions/chives, peas and waterchestuts so it wasn't greasy at all!. *Suggestion* Mix together the minced garlic cloves, salt, and garlic salt, and sautee in the butter before adding the veggies. I thought it was just right!
ReplyDeleteI found this rice on pinterest and am dying to make it. I am happy to be your newest follower. When you have a chance check out my blog www.questfordelish.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteSounds so Yummy
