[@thebackyardhibachi]

It's all in the training. Build good habits now, focus on the prep it will translate onto the grill. Take your spatula and forks home and practice a 15-20 second show. When you practice your show rub a little oil on your hands, they will be oily on the grill. Control your grill so it doesn't control you. Im excited for your journey. Keep me posted.

I have a Blackstone griddle and absolutely love it. I am always searching for new things to do with it which is how I stumbled onto your video. I am an instant fan and a new subscriber to your channel. I think your idea of a Teppanyaki Catering business is pure genius and also makes for a very entertaining take on a flat top grill cooking show. I will be viewing the rest of your videos and anxiously await your upcoming content. Best of luck to you with your catering business and I hope to see your KZbin channel blow up!

[@thebackyardhibachi]

Thank you so much! The teppanyaki catering business has been getting a lot of positive feedback as well. I’m thinking next season I’ll take you guys along and see how it’s done! Thanks again.

The raw chicken cross contamination here is next level 🫣

[@thebackyardhibachi]

Cross contamination is widely misunderstood. Most people look at the process only but overlook temperature. Understanding both you will see why nationwide, food born illnesses from Japanese steakhouses is very rare.

Looks so delicious! Have to try the fried rice out with the mustard sauce...how is the taste of it in the rice though? An ingredient list in the description box would be super helpful :)

The mustard sauce is good for portions as well, it has a horseradish kick. I'm going to be boiling out a website and potentially a cook book for the recipes. Stay tuned for those!

Great video as always. Looking forward to the sushi content you’ve mentioned. What brand of spicy mustard do you use? Or is it homemade?

I watched another of your videos about the lobster with egg yolk sauce, do you have a video how you make it or how do you make yours?

Not yet, That video will be coming. In its simplest form just egg yolk, oil, salt and emulsify.

[@mariofuentes_]

Love your videos. I notice you always cook in the two middle burners. Do you turn off the side burners? Or keep them on low heat?

[@thebackyardhibachi]

I have only the middle burners on. I turn of the side burners.

[@user-fe2kr7xs2v]

What oil to you prefer? Thanks you are Awesome

[@thebackyardhibachi]

canola or vegetable oil.

[@jeffmyers7141]

Looks excellent. I always seem to get little black bits in my fried rice coming off my griddle. I wish I had a stainless top like the restaurants. Do you do anything different in hibachi style for cleaning and maintaining your griddle top?

[@thebackyardhibachi]

Blackstones are much easier to maintain. With the Blackstone I wipe with a oiled down towel after each cook. If Im cooking with a sauce with sugar, I’ll scrap and wipe. It’s hard to tell too because the griddle surface is black. The professional 3/4 stainless are superior in heat retention.

[@Ramb500]

Hey Paul! Can you show us the recipe for the real sesame chicken? That sweet deliciousness? I know that is more of a wok then hibachi, but I've looked for a long time for a great recipe! Keep up the great content!

Your talking about the deep fried chicken with sweet sauce and sesame on top? I can do that, my dad was a wok chef in the 80s and early 90s. He’s got all the Chinese take out recipes!

[@rev.johnpate3231]

This is great! >> Would you happen to be able to supply ingredients list if I were to double your recipe? Ideally, how much rice to put in my rice cooker how much cooked rice, plus number eggs, how much minced garlic? Can be volume or in grams, etc. No worries. Thanks!

[@thebackyardhibachi]

Check out the rice prep video. I address portion sizes. At the restaurant we use 1 egg per two portions. You can double that at home.

[@jaredchristie9410]

Do you use like country crock margarine when warming up the rice on the flat top or is it real butter?

[@thebackyardhibachi]

Real butter. You can use margarine as well.

[@user-wt7sd3mx1r]

What kind of soy sauce do you use and what brand/style of rice do you use. I was at hibachi this weekend and it seemed like a short grain rice.

[@thebackyardhibachi]

I use Kikkoman brand soy sauce. Check out the rice prep video on the channel. It should help.

[@Jhowy-wu3mr]

I never knew that about the egg shape. If that’s true that’s really interesting😄

[@thebackyardhibachi]

It’s a myth! Just out here spreading misinformation 😅

[@Eric_Allen]

I think it was a joke. I think sex is determined by temperature during incubation. The shape of the egg just depends on the individual chickens. Some of my smaller chickens lay a much more oval shaped egg.

What type of oils do you use? Do you marinate the chicken (if so how) or just season with salt and pepper? 8:37

[@davidbauman8783]

I make my rice the day before, but it's usually dry when I go to cook it, should I add water before I put it on the griddle? And when you add butter, is that the garlic butter I made from your recipe, or plain butter and then you add the minced garlic when you cook? I also appreciate when you talk about cooking temperature settings! Thanks!

[@thebackyardhibachi]

Don’t add water! If you see a chef at the restaurant adding water it’s to speed up the cooking process by introducing steam. Check out the rice prep video! In this video I use regular butter and freshly minced garlic.

[@dennyandangiemiller697]

3:05 🤣

[@HeathMooreKentucky]

Couple of questions paul about how much soy sauce do you use per cup of dry rice? And do you use regular soy or reduced sodium? Last time I cooked it it was extremely salty and I've heard you use salt to taste and soy for color but it didn't seem to get the color lol thank you

[@thebackyardhibachi]

A tablespoon or so?? I’ve been eyeballing soy sauce for 17 years so this is a guesstimate. To get the color you’ll need to let the soy sauce darken after you add to the rice, before you mix.

[@bradracine3426]

I would love to know how those eggs aren’t burnt to crisp! I have my blackstone on low heat and still cooks them insanely fast.are you adding a base oil before starting up the grill?

[@thebackyardhibachi]

yes, to keep the eggs from sticking.

[@GerryBerndt-gn4zi]

How long was your rice cooked before you used it.

[@NoneYaBiz5]

Do you use the grill at the same temp across the entire top or vary temps across it? Seems things like the eggs would cook and dry awfully fast at a temp of around 400.

[@thebackyardhibachi]

I’m using the middle two burners. It’s a little warmer towards the edges but there’s not enough surface area to make a difference.

[@NcRPredator]

How do you prep the rice before you cook it? Any particular rice?

[@thebackyardhibachi]

I’ll have a video out on this soon. At the restaurant we use a mix of Jasmine and Calrose.

Can we have the recipe for the spicey mustard sauce?

[@thebackyardhibachi]

Absolutely, coming up!

[@janomo13]

U mention if u don't want fresh vegetables u can buy frozen vegetables with peas carrots corn and such. Should we place them on the flat grill frozen or thaw them first. Sometimes, they have ice on them when they r frozen. Or should we try and thaw and remove as much water first.

[@thebackyardhibachi]

Either or. At some Japanese steakhouse, during a rush we just throw them on frozen.

[@jwdeepsky]

Ngl i get a little excited every time he says it needs salt and pepper

[@MegaJoker817]

How much chicken per how much rice? right now I'm trying to get portions down. Also thank you so much for the videos, I just got a flat top grill and have so much to learn and looking forward to trying this and your other recipes.

[@thebackyardhibachi]

I have so much trouble with eggs. They just run to the sides then to the front and back. Is the griddle suppose to be raised in the middle like that? Never seen that questioned answered anywhere

[@thebackyardhibachi]

I’ve work at one Japanese steakhouse that the grill bowed out like that. It’s from years of pouring cold water onto the grill while is hot. This restaurant was 30+ years old. Also depending on where the grease trap is, the grill might favor one side or the other towards the trap. Generally I like to level out my grill and I’ve never introduced water while cleaning on a seasoned griddle.
