Hibachi Rice
Hibachi rice is a must-have side for any Long Island hibachi party. Toss in cold, cooked rice on the sizzling hibachi grill with sesame oil, butter, soy sauce, and chopped sweet onions. The rice gets a delicious crispy texture as it's cooked and infused with all those savory flavors.
Finally, a fresh egg is cracked onto the grill and scrambled into the rice, adding a rich creaminess. Garnished with chopped green onions, this rice is impossible to resist!
Hibachi Noodles
Hibachi noodles are a fun twist on a classic! Your choice of thick Udon noodles, thin rice noodles, ramen, or even linguine is stir-fried on the hibachi grill with sesame oil, garlic butter, soy sauce, and teriyaki sauce. The noodles soak up all those delicious sauces as they're cooked to perfection.
For added flavor and texture, you can mix in some chopped green onions at the end. These noodles make for an incredibly satisfying side or main dish.
Hibachi Vegetables
Fresh vegetables are a simple yet flavorful hibachi dish. To make some, grill thick slices of zucchini and chunks of sweet onion on the hibachi grill with vegetable oil, soy sauce, and garlic butter until perfectly tender with a nice charred exterior.
The soy sauce and garlic butter create an irresistible glaze that coats each piece of vegetable. Finish it with just a pinch of salt, these grilled veggies make for a healthier hibachi option that doesn't sacrifice flavor.
Hibachi Steak or Chicken
You can't go wrong with this classic hibachi protein! Cook tender bites of chicken breast and/or sirloin steak on the scorching hibachi grill with vegetable oil and sesame oil until they get a delightful char on the exterior. Then, toss in a combination of melted garlic butter, soy sauce, and teriyaki sauce, allowing all those bold flavors to soak into the meat.
Season with just a touch of salt and pepper, this dish lets the natural flavors of the high-quality protein shine through. Serve on its own or over a bed of hibachi rice, it's a crowd-pleaser.
Hibachi Shrimp
Plump, juicy shrimp are a hibachi grill favorite! First, sautee the shrimp on the blazing hot hibachi in vegetable oil until they just start to turn opaque. Then, add garlic butter and toss the shrimp until completely cooked and coated in that rich, buttery sauce.
Finally, drizzle soy sauce and teriyaki sauce over the top, adding layers of umami and sweet flavors. For a touch of brightness, you can also squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the shrimp before serving.
