For the Fried Rice

  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • ½ cup white onion (diced)
  • 1 cup frozen vegetables
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 cups rice (cooked, cool to the touch)
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 tablespoons soy sauce

For the Hibachi Chicken

  • 1 ½ teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1 pound chicken breast (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice (fresh)
  • salt
  • pepper

For the Hibachi Vegetables

  • 1 ½ teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1 zucchini (large, quartered and cut into 2" pieces)
  • 1 white onion (large, halved and cut into ½" pieces)
  • 2 cups baby bella mushrooms (about 8 ounces, quartered)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • salt
  • pepper

For the Mustard Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (preferably lightly toasted)
  • 2 tablespoons dry mustard
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 4 tablespoons soy sauce
  • ½ cup half-and-half
  • 1 tablespoon hot water
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)

Instructions

For the Fried Rice

  • Heat 2 tablespoons avocado oil on medium high in a large skillet or wok. Add diced onion and frozen vegetables, and sauté until onions are almost translucent, about 3 minutes. Move the vegetables to the side of pan. Crack eggs into pan and scramble with a spatula until cooked through and fully scrambled.
  • Add 4 cups cooked rice and 4 tablespoons butter. Cook for 5 minutes and stir frequently. Add 4 tablespoons soy sauce and cook 1 additional minute. Pack fried rice firmly into bowls to keep hot.

For the Chicken and Vegetables (Made Simultaneously)

  • For the chicken: Heat 1 ½ teaspoons sesame oil and 1 tablespoon avocado oil in same skillet or wok used for fried rice. Add chicken, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon butter, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to skillet. Cook chicken until it is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Stir only once or twice so chicken will brown.
  • For the vegetables: In a separate large skillet or wok, heat 1 ½ teaspoons sesame oil and 1 tablespoon avocado oil on medium high heat. Add sliced onion, baby bella mushrooms, zucchini, 1 tablespoon butter, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, salt, and pepper to skillet. Sauté until vegetables are tender, about 6-8 minutes.

For the Mustard Sauce

  • Lightly toast sesame seeds if desired. (See note.) Blend sesame seeds, dry mustard, 2 teaspoons honey, 4 tablespoons soy sauce, half and half, hot water, and minced garlic in blender.

Recipe Notes

  • For the best fried rice: Do not cook rice immediately before making fried rice. Leftover or precooked rice from the store works best.
  • For mustard sauce: Lightly toasting sesame seeds will enhance the flavor, but it is not necessary. Mustard sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.
  • To make grain-free: Substitute rice with cauliflower rice.
