If your only experience with fried rice is Chinese take-out, you’ll love this fresher-tasting, gluten-free version.
One of my favorite parts of hibachi is the fried rice! Whether you want it as a full meal or a side dish, you can’t go wrong with this hibachi fried rice recipe. Made with gluten-free soy sauce, and full of good-for-you vegetables, it is quick and easy to make, and is sure to be a big hit.
What You Need To Make Hibachi Fried Rice
- Rice – Jasmine, calrose, short-grain rice, and long-grain rice are some of my favs to use when cooking hibachi fried rice.
- Vegetables – I’ve used onions, corn and carrots, but you can also add in other veggies of your choice. If all you have is a bag of frozen vegetables, that’ll work just fine!
- Grated Ginger – Just two teaspoons of fresh grated ginger goes a long way in making this hibachi fried rice. The next time you’re at the store, pick up a knob of fresh ginger in the produce section. Once home, store it in the freezer to make it last longer.
- Soy Sauce & Toasted Sesame Oil – Along with the delicious taste, soy sauce also adds a nice brown color in the recipe. Although optional, the toasted sesame oil brings tons of nutty flavor to this hibachi fried rice.
- Avocado oil – When compared to traditional olive oil used in a lot of recipes, avocado oil will perform better when heated to high temperatures.
Adjust This Hibachi Fried Rice Recipe To Your Diet
- Make it Vegan: Use vegan butter and omit the egg.
- Make it Grain-Free: Substitute the rice for some cauliflower rice (the dish won’t get as crispy and “fried,” but will still taste delicious!)
- Make it Paleo: Use cauliflower rice, coconut aminos instead of soy sauce, and avocado oil instead of butter.
Tips For Making Hibachi Fried Rice
- Use rice you’ve made ahead of time instead of freshly cooked rice. Freshly cooked rice tends to clump together and does not crisp up as easily.
- For more protein, add some cooked shrimp or cubes of tofu!
- Consider varying the veggies like snow peas, broccoli florets and chopped zucchini for delicious additions.

It would probably be best to note in here that soy sauce is not gluten free, so with that ingredient listed, this recipe shouldn’t be advertised as gluten free.
