Ingredients
Scale
Chicken:
- 1½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs (cut into bite-sized pieces)
Sauce:
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (optional)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions and sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the skillet: Heat a large skillet or flat-top griddle over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and butter.
- Cook the chicken: Once the butter is melted and sizzling, add the chicken pieces in a single layer. Cook for 4–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
- Add sauce: Add the garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar (if using). Stir to coat the chicken evenly in the sauce and cook for another 1–2 minutes until everything is well glazed.
- Season and garnish: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot with hibachi-style fried rice and sautéed vegetables.
Notes
- For a more authentic experience, serve with yum yum sauce or ginger dipping sauce.
- You can also marinate the chicken in soy sauce and garlic ahead of time for extra flavor.
