Frequently Asked Questions
In both the recipes, Chicken is stir-fried with veggies and a sauce. Where the Hibachi Chicken is cooked only with soy sauce, Teriyaki Chicken has a sweeter, seasoned, soy sauce-based sauce that has more ingredients along with soy sauce.
Teriyaki chicken is also marinated first and then cooked, while hibachi chicken is not.
There is not much difference between Hibachi and Teppanyaki. In the US, Hibachi is the term used to refer to what actually is Teppanyaki cooking, where small portable open barbecue grills made from cast iron are used to cook veggies and meat, and the heat is generated from charcoal. Nowadays, some restaurants also use electric barbecues to avoid the use of charcoal in indoor seatings.
Whereas in Teppanyaki, a large iron grill with a flat surface is used to cook the meat, which is placed in front of the guests, so that the guests can see their food getting cooked and the spoon and knife tricks of the chef. This grill can also be used to cook rice, eggs, or veggies that are served on the sides.
You can add in carrots, bell pepper, mushrooms, zucchini, broccoli, green onions or any other vegetables that you like to add on the side.
Storage Suggestions
This chicken will last for about 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator when stored in an airtight container. Reheat it in a pan or in the microwave. If you feel it is a little dry, sprinkle some water on top and heat it properly.
You can freeze it too for about 2 months. Thaw it overnight in the fridge and reheat when you want to serve it.
This Hibachi Chicken is also great for meal preps. You can double or triple the recipe and use the leftover Chicken for the remaining week. This dish will last for about a week in the fridge.
Serving Suggestions
Serve it on a bed of Steamed Rice or even Jasmine Rice along with a Yum Yum Sauce on the side.
