Keep the Dad jokes rollin - don't ever stop! Top Tip: Get one or two (I think places like Sam's Club sells them as a two-pack) bus bins (gray tubs used for collecting dishes at restaurants) - they're very handy for carrying all of your ingredients and griddle tools out to the griddle I use two - one for what's going out to the griddle and one underneath with a couple clean plastic plates for what is going back inside. Keeps everything together and your wife won't wonder where her cookie sheets have gone off to....

Thanks for responding to the comment, I have a quick question whenever you get time. If after I cook, I clean the grill with getting all of the food bits off the top. Flush and scrape with some water, then while the griddle is on low apply a thin coat of avocado oil. Is that good enough if I do that every time I cook, or do you think I need to do a complete true seasoning every 3-4 cooks?

I save the egg till closer to the end. And don’t add as much butter to your rice. Works for me

I put the rice on paper towels on bread pan, lose a little that sticks but really helps dry the rice.

Saw a YT video with that process, it helps dehydrate the rice and keeps it fluffy and helps prevent clumping.

By all means, keep up the dad jokes. I prefer the content from a dad joke telling enthusiast than some self-proclaimed authority. I just bought my first griddle to primarily make teppenyaki. I did my first attempt the same day you put this video out. I did just meat and veggies.

I plan on more practice and look forward to you sharing your experiences.

Hey congrats on the new griddle and I'm so glad that you like my style. Also I think you are correct, both of us needed some Sake to make our cooks better lol. Thanks for watching.

I prefer basmati to jasmine rice for fried rice dishes; it’s a bit firmer and longer, so it cooks up even better on the flat-top. I make it in an Instant pot with a 1:1 or 1:1.25 rice:water ratio then fluff it several times while it cools (no overnight wait). I cook my meats first then push them off to the side as I’m laying down the veggies/eggs and clearing the center of the griddle for the rice. As I’m getting the rice nicely coated, the veggies/eggs cook and I combine them, extending to the right three burners. About this time, I pull off the meats and finish the rice with soy sauce and sesame oil. On the zukes, you may want to slice them into planks rather than wedges for better browning (on both sides).

I haven't decided which I like best for making fried rice: peanut oil or sesame oil. However, I always do the eggs last so that they're fluffy chunks rather than overdone or absorbed into the rice. I do the onions/garlic butter first, then rice, then more butter for the eggs, stir it all together with whatever meat and soy sauce at the very end. I haven't mastered it yet, but having it all be hot/salty/umami without being burned or mushed together is my goal. EDIT: Also, I dated a Persian gal years ago name Jasmine. It didn't work out in the end, but it was fun while it lasted. 🥵

The rice situation should only be on that heat for a cpl mins tops, starting w neutral oil, scallions, real garlic, and ginger to get the flavor profile going. Shrooms take longer to cook and release their moisturethan the onions and zucchini. Shrimp that size only take 30 secs per side.

Well for starters….need onion volcano or it don’t taste right. I like my stuff cut smaller my self

I don't think there's anything wrong with the way you're cooking hibachi. And a big part of the fun lies in experimenting with different techniques anyway! But one valuable thing I learned is to add your soy sauce around your food instead of putting it right onto the food. That allows the soy to caramelize just a little bit first. Then drag it into your food and incorporate it throughout your rice, veggies, etc. Minor change, but it does make a difference! Great job, and keep cookin'!!

Only saw the soy sauce in the video but I believe you mentioned teriyaki sauce as well. Definitely make sure to use a mix of soy and teriyaki and you can probably omit the salt in your seasoning since that is usually done due to the sodium in the soy. Personally I prefer to cut the steak after cooking since I can be sure each bit gets the color on it being easier to flip but I know cutting it first speeds cooking. Maybe try your hand at adding noodles as well. Most hibachi places around me do noodles and rice where the noodles are just lo mein style with teriyaki and soy and butter and you are essentially reheating them on the griddle. The eggs are really the hardest part for me but I tend to just cook them like scrambled eggs almost then pour the rice on top of it mixing in. Fresh garlic is MUCH better so use that if you can but I understand the convenience of pre-diced. I would probably also add some carrots and peas for the rice and possibly carrots for the veggies too just for extra color. Just my tips. Hope you keep up the good work.

another suggestion (found through experience) start with just one protein (like chicken) - when chaos comes (and it will) you'll have the tendency to overcook or even burn your rice if you try to get things to come together all at once. or simply try for just fried rice until you get that down (and learn that you only need to (re)heat the rice and that you're not trying to actually "fry" it - the color comes from the soy sauce....

@JohnnyBrunet most people don't know that ,everyone thinks everything is hibachi when it comes to Cantonese cooking ,like people think sushi is raw fish, when in fact sushi means sour rice, really not trying to sound like a know it all ,I just studied Cantonese cooking for diet purposes after I had a heart attack , still wanted to eat good and that culture has very health cardiovascular systems and the lowest heart related deaths in the word

@@jeremeywelling2245 oh that's very good to know. I hope the diet is going well and there's no more issues. My father had a stroke and were trying to monitor what he eats as well. I'll have to look into that

@JohnnyBrunet the only real downside is it is a lot of prep work, to cook it is the quick part, I was also told by a authentic Japanese chef the key to good fried rice is to use butter and coat the rice before adding soy and only use soy sauce for coloring not flavor, salt and pepper is for the flavor, and use white pepper instead of black when cooking, black pepper is for after the cooking is done because black pepper turns bitter if it is cooked too long, hope some of this helps and good luck for a full recovery for your father!!, also cook your egg on the side almost like a omelet then chop it up and mix into the rice, you will have fluffier egg in the rice

Johnny, thanks for another informative video. I still haven't done a meal like this on the griddle because I prefer the wok but I may have the nerve to try it now. Also, I would not recommend un-thawing anything prior to cooking because un-thawing means "to freeze"! Just breaking your stones a little 😂. Again, thanks for the video and including the happy accidents. It shows your human.

I highly recommend not using the jarred garlic. That’s awful stuff. It’ll literally ruin the taste of the entire dish.

Thanks man I really appreciate all the advice.

Your griddle needs a better season. I use blackstone’s seasoning compound. Also don’t be scared to get the thing ripping hot.
