Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1 small zucchini, sliced into half-moons
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- ½ onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped green onions
Seasoning and Cooking Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 ½ tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Sauce Ingredients:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon water (to thin)
Garnish and Serving:
- 2 cups fried rice or steamed rice
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- Craft a zesty Yum Yum sauce by whisking together mayonnaise, ketchup, rice vinegar, garlic powder, paprika, sugar, and water in a compact mixing vessel. Refrigerate the condiment to allow flavors to meld while preparing the remaining components.
- Select a spacious skillet and warm olive oil over medium-high temperature. Introduce seasoned chicken pieces, allowing them to develop a golden exterior through periodic stirring. Enhance the protein with a luxurious blend of butter, minced garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil, continuing to cook until the meat reaches perfect doneness.
- Without cleaning the skillet, transition to vegetable preparation by melting additional butter. Introduce zucchini, mushrooms, and onions, creating a vibrant medley that maintains a crisp texture. Elevate the vegetable ensemble with strategic dashes of soy sauce, garlic powder, and freshly cracked black pepper.
- Construct beautiful serving bowls by artfully layering fluffy rice as a foundation, then generously distributing the succulent chicken and caramelized vegetables. Drizzle the chilled Yum Yum sauce with elegant sweeping motions, then sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and finely sliced green onions for a sophisticated finishing touch.
Notes
- Customize the Yum Yum Sauce by adjusting ingredients to suit personal taste preferences, making it sweeter or tangier as desired.
- Marinate chicken beforehand in a mixture of soy sauce, garlic, and ginger for deeper flavor infusion and more tender meat.
- Use high heat and avoid overcrowding the skillet to achieve that authentic hibachi-style golden-brown chicken with crispy edges.
- Swap chicken with tofu, shrimp, or beef for dietary variations, ensuring protein is cooked to appropriate internal temperature.
