Hibachi-style fried rice is so easy to recreate at home! The key is to use butter to fry the rice in - it will give the rice so much rich flavor and toast it perfectly. This serves 2-4 as a main dish, or 6-8 as a side.

Notes
Leftover rice is best for fried rice, but you can use fresh if you need to.I do NOT add salt to the water my rice cooks in. If you do, you may want to cut down on the amount of salt used in your fried rice.
