Instructions
- Prep & Cook Sesame Soy Chicken: Prepare the sesame soy chicken according to your favorite recipe or the referenced method. Once cooked, slice the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces.
- Sauté Vegetables: Heat the unsalted butter and toasted sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the sliced carrots, zucchini, and mushrooms to the pan. Stir and cook the vegetables until they are tender and have started to brown slightly, about 10 to 15 minutes. Season with garlic powder, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper to your preference. Remove the vegetable mixture from heat.
- Assemble the Hibachi Chicken Bowls: In shallow bowls, evenly distribute the cooked sesame soy chicken pieces, sautéed vegetables, and prepared fried rice. Drizzle each bowl with Yum Yum sauce or serve the sauce on the side for dipping. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful hibachi chicken bowls.
Notes
- You can prepare the sesame soy chicken in advance to save time when assembling the bowls.
- If you prefer, substitute any vegetables you like for carrots, zucchini, or mushrooms.
- Adjust the seasoning and Yum Yum sauce amount based on your taste preference.
- Store leftover components separately and reheat gently for best texture.
- For a lower calorie version, use cauliflower rice instead of fried rice.
