HOW TO MAKE HIBACHI FRIED RICE:

1. Prepare the ingredients: Dice the vegetables, and if using protein, cut it into bite-sized pieces. Beat the eggs and set them aside.
2. Cook the eggs: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add a bit of oil, then scramble the eggs. Once cooked, remove them from the pan and set aside.
3. Sauté the vegetables: In the same pan, add butter and sauté the onions, carrots, and peas until they soften.
4. Add the rice: Stir in the cold, cooked rice, breaking up any clumps. Cook for a few minutes to allow the rice to absorb the flavors.
5. Season: Pour in soy sauce, sesame oil, and minced garlic. Toss everything together, making sure the rice is evenly coated and heated through.
6. Finish with eggs: Stir the cooked eggs back into the rice, along with chopped green onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Optional protein: If adding chicken, shrimp, or steak, cook the protein separately until done, then stir it into the fried rice.
