Title: Benihana'Sr Japanese Fried Rice
Yield: 4 Servings

Ingredients

      4 c  cooked converted or
           -parboiled rice
      1 c  frozen green peas; thawed
      2 tb finely grated carrot
      2    eggs; beaten
    1/2 c  diced onion
      2 tb soy sauce
           Salt and pepper

Instructions

1. Cook rice following instructions on package (Bring 2 cups water to a
boil,
add rice and a dash of salt, reduce heat and simmer in covered saucepan for
20 minutes). Pour rice into a large bowl to let it cool in the
refrigerator.
2. Scramble the eggs in a small pan over medium heat. Separate the
scrambled
chunks of egg into small pea-size bits while cooking.
3. When rice has cooled to near room temperature, add peas, grated carrot,
scrambled egg and diced onion to the bowl. Carefully toss all of the
ingredients together.
4. Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter in a large frying pan over medium/high
heat.
5. When butter has completely melted, dump the bowl of rice and other
ingredients into the pan and add soy sauce plus a dash of salt and pepper.
Cook rice for 6 - 8 minutes over heat, stirring often.

TIDBITS: This fried rice can be prepared ahead of time by cooking the rice,
then adding the peas, carrots and egg plus half of the soy sauce. Keep this
refrigerated until you are ready to fry it in the butter. That's when you
add
the salt, pepper and remaining soy sauce.

NOTE: When 20-year-old Rocky Aoki came to the New York City from Japan with
his wrestling team in 1959 he was convinced it was the land of opportunity.
Just five years later he took $10,000 he had saved plus another $20,000
that
he borrowed to open a Benihanar Steakhouse on the West side of Manhattan.
His
concept of bringing the chefs out from the back kitchen to prepare the food
in front of customers on a specially designed hibachi grill was
groundbreaking. The restaurant was such a smashing success that it paid for
itself within six months.
Here's a clone recipe for the fried rice at Banihanar that is prepared by
chefs with pre-cooked rice on those open hibachi grills.
