Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Make Yum Yum Sauce

Start with a bowl. Add mayonnaise, sugar, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, and tomato paste. Mix everything well.

Now pour in melted butter. Whisk until smooth. The sauce may look thick at this stage. Add about 2 tablespoons of water and mix again. The texture should be creamy and smooth.

Cover the bowl and place it in the fridge overnight. This step is important. It allows the flavors to blend and taste just like restaurant sauce.

Step 2: Prepare the Griddle or Pan

You can use a large pan, wok, or cast iron griddle. Heat it on medium heat and add some vegetable oil.

If you are using one pan, cook everything in steps. If you have a large surface, you can cook multiple items at once.

Step 3: Cook the Fried Rice

Start with onions. Add chopped onions to the pan and cook until they turn slightly golden.

Add your cold rice. This is very important. Fresh rice becomes sticky and mushy. Cold rice gives you the perfect texture.

Add scrambled eggs and butter. Mix everything gently.

Now pour in soy sauce. Stir well so every grain of rice gets coated. Taste it before adding salt. Soy sauce usually has enough salt already.

Add chopped green onions at the end. Mix and remove the rice from the pan. Set it aside.

Step 4: Cook the Vegetables

Add a little oil if needed. Start with zucchini since it takes longer to cook.

Sprinkle a little salt. This helps release moisture and gives better texture.

Once the zucchini starts to brown, add the onions. Stir everything together.

Add soy sauce and a few drops of sesame oil. Do not add too much sesame oil. It is strong in flavor.

Cook until vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp. Remove and set aside.

Step 5: Cook the Steak

Place steak pieces in the hot pan. Let them sear without moving too much.

Add garlic butter on top. Sprinkle a little salt and black pepper. Be careful with salt because soy sauce will be added.

Pour in soy sauce and mix. Flip the steak pieces and cook to your preferred doneness.

Add teriyaki sauce at the end. Toss everything so the steak is well coated.

Once done, remove from heat.

Step 6: Cook the Shrimp

In the same pan, add shrimp and garlic butter.

Cook shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. They cook quickly, so do not overcook.

Since the pan already has flavor from previous cooking, you do not need extra soy sauce.

Add teriyaki sauce and toss well. Once the shrimp turn pink and slightly golden, remove from the heat.

Step 7: Assemble and Serve

Now everything is ready.

Serve fried rice on the plate. Add vegetables on the side. Place the steak and shrimp next to it.

Drizzle yum yum sauce on top or serve it on the side for dipping.

You now have a complete hibachi meal made at home.
