the night before:

bring to boil
simmer low for 20 mins
let sit for 10 minutes
put it in a container with the diced carrots, diced onions, and half the sesame seeds on top over night in the fridge.
prepare some white sauce from my white sauce recipe in the sauces section.
prepare secret soy sauce concoction as follows:
bring all ingredients to a slow boil
simmer for 10 minutes
place in fridge over night.
preparing all of this the day before makes everything taste better. don't cheat. you'll be disappointed.
the next day:
get your wok super hot.
put oil in the wok.
dump the rice/carrots/onions/sesame in
let it sit there for a bit
put two table spoons of butter on top.
dump about half of the secret soy sauce concoction on top of the rice and push it around.
make a hole in the middle of the rice
beat 2 eggs and dump them in the center.
make scrambled eggs in the middle of the rice.
after the eggs come together, push it all around some more and let it sit again for a bit.
add frozen peas
add sugar
taste - add more soy concoction if you desire
you're ready to go when the peas are warm
the following is the internet discussion where i got the secret info from:
I cant believe how closely guarded this secret is!!!! Wow this post has been going on for how long and nobody has told you all the basics???? First of all, the butter they use is not BUTTER!! put real butter on the grill with your meat and it will taste like burned butter! It is butter substitute that tuns into an oil when heated, and does not burn! It also usually contains garlic, finely chopped, or chunked. They use two kinds of the substitute. A liquid kind, and a solid kind. The solid kind contains the Garlic and is used last. The also use a bit of sake. Now for the soy. If you put regular soy in it, it will taste like your bottle of soy! Yuck! They boil the soy with water(to dilute) and MIRIN, a rice cooking wine. They add a little sugar too. Now for the rice, The missing ingredient you speak of is simple sugar. The rice tastes so different because when the chef says he is adding salt, it is SUGAR! Also the mirin in the soy makes the rice taste different. LAstly is the ginger dipping sauce. A tiny bit of ginger, onions, soy, and carrot juice, thats it. blend well. I have been to Every single Hibachi place in the chicago landd and northwest Indiana area, I have bribed cheffs, and have mastered the recipe. The butter substitute I speak of can be found at Gordons food service. You will not Find it at a regular store.
