Instructions:

Step 1: Yum Yum Sauce:

• Prepare the Sauce:In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, tomato paste or ketchup, melted butter, rice vinegar, sugar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and onion powder.

• Mix until smooth. Add water a little at a time if you want to thin the sauce to your desired consistency.

• Cover and refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Step 2: Hibachi Fried Rice:

• Cook the Eggs:Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil or butter in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

• Beat the eggs in a bowl and pour them into the skillet. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3: Sauté the Vegetables:

• In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil or butter.

• Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent.

• Add the minced garlic and mixed vegetables, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Step 4: Add the Rice:

• Increase the heat to high and add the cooked rice to the skillet.

•Stir-fry the rice, breaking up any clumps, for about 5 minutes until it’s heated through and slightly crispy.

Step 5: Season the Rice:

• Add the soy sauce and sesame oil, and mix well to ensure the rice is evenly coated.

• Return the scrambled eggs to the skillet and mix them into the rice.

• Add the chopped green onions and cook for another minute.

Step 6: Add Protein (Optional):

• If you are adding cooked chicken, shrimp, or beef, mix them into the rice at this stage and heat through.

• Season and Serve:Taste the rice and add salt and pepper as needed.

• Serve the hibachi fried rice hot with a generous drizzle of yum yum sauce on top or on the side.
