Notes
Use cooled rice: Use leftover cooked rice or completely cooled cooked rice to make this recipe, otherwise the rice will stick together in clumps.
Let the rice crisp up: When you add it, it's important to let it sit undisturbed in the pan for a couple of minutes. This crisps it up in places.
Taste before serving: Try the finished hibachi fried rice recipe before serving to see whether you need to adjust the seasonings.
