Benihana Style Fried Rice

Created by: The Pretty Little Chef

"If you've been to Benihana or any type of teppan style Japanese restaurant than you know how AMAZING the fried rice is. Last time I went to Benihana I asked the chef what the key ingredient was and he said "garlic butter". I took a basic recipe, added the garlic to the butter & "wa la", perfect fried rice!"
