Instructions

Notes
- Using chilled jasmine rice helps prevent clumping and produces the best texture.
- Adjust soy sauce quantity to your taste preference or dietary needs.
- Fresh vegetables can be substituted for frozen peas and carrots for added freshness.
- For an authentic hibachi flavor, use a wok if available and cook on high heat.
