What is the Seasoning that They Use in Hibachi?
When you go to a Hibachi Restaurant they use a combination of the following ingredients.
- Garlic
- Soy Sauce
- Sesame Oil
- Sesame Seeds
- Ginger
This mixture is used to season the meat and the vegetables that are cooked on the griddle.
Can I Still Make Hibachi on the Stove Top?
Yes, of course you can make it on your stovetop. Before we got a Blackstone Griddle or a portable charcoal grill, I would put these same ingredients in a large skillet and heat over medium heat. I like to use my cast iron skillet but any large pan will work including wok.
Depending on how much you are making, you may need to cook the meat mixture in batches. This Hibachi dish taste great on the skillet or on the Blackstone.
How to Serve Blackstone Hibachi Chicken Recipe
- Fried Rice – We love to serve chicken hibachi with some fried cooked rice. We have a Blackstone Fried Rice recipe that you can cook on the griddle and it comes out so flavorful. We love to add a scramble egg for even more flavor.
- White Rice – If you prefer, you can steam some cauliflower rice, white or brown rice and serve as a side with this Hibachi Chicken. We also love to squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the top.
- Hibachi sautéed vegetables – While you are cooking your chicken, slice up some peppers, onions and other vegetables and cook on the griddle.
