Instructions
- Begin by preparing the chicken. Dice the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
- For the hibachi sauce, combine the yellow onion, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, chinkiang vinegar, lemon juice, brown sugar, and pepper in a blender. Pulse until the mixture reaches a smooth consistency.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken pieces and sear them on all sides until they reach a light golden color.
- Once the chicken is seared, add the sliced carrots and chopped zucchini to the skillet. Pour in about half a cup of the hibachi sauce, and sauté the mixture until the chicken is cooked through, and the sauce has thickened. Add additional sauce as needed, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the chicken and vegetables from the skillet and serve them over warm rice. Garnish with chopped green onions and drizzle with yum yum sauce to complete the dish.
