benihana style egg fried rice

my husband LOVES benihana's fried rice... but he hates vegetables and only likes eggs in his fried rice. i have tried many fried rice recipes in the past and they have all been BAD. i thought that fried rice was just a recipe that i couldn't do well... until i came across this recipe. i made it for the first time a couple of weeks ago and my husband absolutely loved it...he has been craving chinese food ever since and has beggd me to make this fried rice again.

i have to add that i did some research before i attempted this recipe. from the website below, i read all the comments that people said and found that someone said that they use garlic butter. so i made garlic butter the day before i made this fried rice. its pretty simple...

GARLIC BUTTER
1 stick of butter softened
1-2 garlic cloves

i just let a stick of butter soften in a bowl and then grated a clove of garlic into it. i used a spatula to mix it very well. i then placed it back in the fridge until i was ready to use it.

also, i read that the rice should be cooked a day ahead of time. i knew i would be making this for dinner this morning, so when i woke up i put a cup of uncooked rice in my steamer and let it cook. when it was done i placed it in the fridge to cool completely.

anyways here is the recipe...
