Ohhhhh You Like Fried Rice?

I love asian food, and it was always a treat to get to go to a hibachi place in high school.  Then I came to college in Athens and discovered choo choo (fast food hibachi place-literally could solve all the worlds problems).  anywho I really like fried rice but it had never occurred to me to actually try and make it until I found a recipe for Benihana's fried rice on pinterest.  so here goes....it took a lot longer than I thought it would be was well worth it in the end! now if only I could figure out how to make choo choo yellow sauce...

this is my interpretation of this recipe: http://runninginstilettos-hbc.blogspot.com/2011/03/benihana-style-chicken-fried-rice.html
