Yes... I did it! I made homemade Chinese, or should I say Hibachi at home! It was fantastic. I was craving the fried rice from this Hibachi restaurant that I love to go to but I wasn't in the mood to go out. I just wanted to in the comfort of my own home. Eating my favorite food. In PJs.
I found this recipe that sounded delicious and it was my first time trying Hibachi fried rice so I thought what the hec!? I'll try it!

Here is what I did differently: I used jasmine rice and added 2 cloves of minced garlic. Everything else stayed the same and it was super delicious.
I knew that my husband would have complained if I didn't have some sort of protein so I cut up chicken into cubes and sauteed with some EVOO, 1 clove of minced garlic and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. It was an excellent compliment to the fried rice.
This is a keeper!!
