Never underestimate a woman and her skillet. This hibachi inspired dinner is SO good and has all the best flavors of a delicious meal at a hibachi restaurant without the big price tag, or the gluten!
No, you do NOT need a table sized hibachi grill in your kitchen to make this Japanese style meal at home (wouldn’t that be fun though?). A double burner griddle, large skillet or sauté pan will do the trick.

Ingredients:
- 12 oz. boneless chicken breast
- 4 cups mixed vegetables such as peas, carrots, onions, celery, mushrooms
- olive oil
- toasted sesame oil
- 4 tbsp. Tamari, divided
- 1/4 cup gluten free chicken broth
- 1/4 tsp. powdered ginger
- 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp. toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
- sliced scallions or chives, for garnish
For the rice
- 3/4 cup long grain white or brown rice
- 1-½ cups water
- 1/4 tsp. salt
For the egg
- 1 egg + 1 tbsp. water
- cooking spray
Sake optional 😉
Preparation:
Cook the rice according to package directions, either stove top or in a rice cooker. You can do this ahead of time, in fact it will be better if you make the rice a day ahead and refrigerate.
Next, prep your ingredients. Whisk together the chicken broth, garlic powder, ginger powder and cornstarch. Dice the chicken into 1″ cubes and toss with 1 tbsp. tamari and 1 tsp. sesame oil. Cut the vegetables into small dice (if using frozen vegetables, thaw them while you make the rest of the dish). Slice scallions or chives on the diagonal for garnish.
Coat a large sauté pan or nonstick skillet with cooking spray over medium low heat. Scramble the egg, chop into small pieces and set aside.
Add 1 tbsp. olive oil and 1 tsp. sesame oil to the pan. Add the diced chicken and begin browning.
Turn to finish cooking through.
Transfer the chicken to a bowl and keep warm. Add the veggies to the same pan with 1 tsp. sesame oil and 1 tbsp. tamari.
When the veggies are crisp tender add back the chicken. Pour in the chicken broth mixture, stirring and tossing to combine until the liquid thickens.
Finally, add the cooked rice to the pan with the egg. Finish with 1 tbsp. tamari and 1 tsp. sesame oil and stir to heat through. Garnish with the toasted sesame seeds and sliced scallions or chives.

The next morning, heat the canola oil in a deep skillet. Add the cornstarch and the rest of the seasoning mixture to a small bowl. When oil is very hot, use tongs to pick up one piece of chicken at a time and dredge in the cornstarch, shaking off the excess. Add to the hot oil and cook until browned on both sides and the internal temperature reaches 165º. If you’re not sure, use a thermometer.
To assemble, arrange the waffles on a serving dish in a single layer (if you made them the night before, pop them into the microwave for 1 minute to reheat). Top each waffle section with a piece of chicken and secure with a skewer or toothpick.

I added all of the wine, stock, tomato paste and seasonings. Honestly, there was a bit too much liquid and I would cut back next time. Julia did not add carrots in her recipe, but I went rogue and put a few in. Lid on, time to simmer!


I transferred all of the liquid from the sauté pan into a stock pot and whisked in the beurre manié until it was smooth and silky.
I added the onions and mushrooms to the sauce, then poured it over the chicken, bringing to a simmer one last time before serving.
There it is. So many little steps to develop the flavor profile of this famous dish. Yes, it was delicious. Yes, I will take a few shortcuts next time, but I do intend to make this again.
