Hibachi Dinner at Home

One of my goals with this site is to show Cookies how to make quality food restaurants in your own kitchen. Call me crazy, but I really believe anyone can cook with the right guidance. Delicious food looks scary. Especially when chefs turn eggs in hats, light fires, and juggling spatulas! Unfortunately, Coop can't teach you that. BUT, I can show you how to make a Hibachi dinner at home that will rival your favorite restaurant!

For me, the most important thing about Hibachi is Yum Yum Sauce! I poured the items all over the plate! It's surprising that something so good is so easy to make using a little material. Be sure to make sauces a day or at least one night before to give a sense of time to bloom.

I use two types of oil. Vegetable oil and sesame oil. Sesame oil is used mainly for flavors which are therefore added together with soy sauce and other flavorings. It added that the taste of Hibachi I was accustomed to from restaurants. It also has a consistency that is thicker than other oils. A little walk away. We want to use it sparingly, so make sure to stick to my measurements. If you can't find sesame oil, don't worry. It feels like it's going to be okay without it. And, vegetable oil is used to coat the cooking surface to prevent sticking and burning, of course.
