  • 1 tablespoon Tomato Paste
  • 1.5 teaspoons Garlic Powder

Instructions

  1. Make the White Sauce

    In a mixing bowl combine mayonnaise, rice vinegar, melted butter, tomato paste, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, white sugar, and water. Whisk until smooth and set aside.

    Time: PT5M

  2. Prep Aromatics and Veggies

    Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and measure out the frozen mixed vegetables. Whisk the egg in a small bowl.

    Time: PT5M

  3. Fry the Rice

    Heat 2 tbsp butter in the skillet over medium‑high heat. Add the onion and garlic, sauté 1 minute. Sprinkle in the frozen vegetables and stir‑fry until they thaw. Push everything to the side, pour in the whisked egg and scramble quickly. Add the cooked rice, then drizzle oyster sauce, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Toss everything together and fry for 5‑7 minutes until the rice is lightly browned.

    Time: PT10M

    Temperature: medium-high

  4. Season and Cook the Steak

    In a small bowl mix garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and 1 tsp soy sauce. Toss the steak strips in the mixture. In the same skillet (or a clean one), add a little butter and sear the steak over high heat for about 3‑4 minutes, stirring until browned but still pink inside. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.

    Time: PT7M

    Temperature: high

  5. Season and Cook the Shrimp

    Toss the shrimp in the same seasoning mixture used for the steak. Add a bit more butter to the skillet and cook the shrimp over high heat for 2‑3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Set aside with the steak.

    Time: PT4M

    Temperature: high

  6. Final Assembly

    Return the cooked vegetables (if any were set aside) to the skillet, add the white sauce, and gently stir to coat the rice. Add the steak and shrimp back, toss briefly just to re‑heat. Serve hot on plates.

    Time: PT2M

    Temperature: medium

Why does this hibachi recipe use mayonnaise in the white sauce instead of a traditional soy‑based glaze?

The mayo adds a silky, rich texture that coats the rice and proteins, creating a fusion flavor profile that appeals to Western palates while still delivering the umami from soy sauce and oyster sauce.

technical
Q

Can I make the shrimp and steak hibachi ahead of time and how should I store it?

A
