Ingredients

4 tablespoons avocado oil divided

3 teaspoons sesame oil divided

pepper

salt

Fried Rice

1 cup frozen vegetables

1/2 cup white onion diced

4 cups rice cooked, cool to the touch

2 eggs large

Hibachi chicken

2 teaspoons lemon juice fresh

1 pound chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces

Hibachi vegetables

1 white onion large, halved and cut into 1/2" pieces

1 zucchini large, quartered

2 cups baby bella mushrooms quartered, about 8 ounces

Mustard sauce

1 clove garlic minced

1 tablespoon sesame seeds preferably lightly toasted

2 tablespoons dry mustard

1/2 cup half and half

2 teaspoons honey

1 tablespoon water hot

Instructions

1. Make the fried rice: Heat 2 tablespoons avocado oil on medium high in a large skillet or wok. Add diced onion and frozen vegetables, and sauté until onions are almost translucent, about 3 minutes. Move the vegetables to the side of pan.
2. Crack eggs into pan and scramble with a spatula until cooked through and fully scrambled. Add 4 cups cooked rice and 4 tablespoons butter. Cook for 5 minutes and stir frequently. Add 4 tablespoons soy sauce and cook 1 additional minute. Pack fried rice firmly into bowls to keep hot.
3. Make the chicken and vegetables at the same time.
4. For the chicken: Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil and 1 tablespoon avocado oil in same skillet or wok used for fried rice. Add chicken, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon butter, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to skillet. Cook chicken until it is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Stir only once or twice so chicken will brown.
5. For the vegetables: In a separate large skillet or wok, heat 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil and 1 tablespoon avocado oil on medium high heat. Add sliced onion, baby bella mushrooms, zucchini, 1 tablespoon butter, salt, and pepper to skillet. Sauté until vegetables are tender, about 6-8 minutes.
6. For the mustard sauce: Lightly toast sesame seeds if desired. (See note.) Blend sesame seeds, dry mustard, 2 teaspoons honey, half and half, hot water, 1/4 cup soy sauce, and minced garlic in blender.

Recipe Notes

• For mustard sauce: Lightly toasting sesame seeds will enhance the flavor, but it is not necessary. Mustard sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.
• For the best fried rice: Do not cook rice immediately before making fried rice. Leftover or precooked rice from the store works best.
• To make grain-free: Substitute rice with cauliflower rice.
