What is Teppan-yaki?

Teppan-yaki is a style of Japanese cuisine that uses an iron griddle to cook food. The word is derived from teppan , which is the metal plate on which the food is cooked, and yaki , which means "grilled, broiled, or pan-fried". Teppan-yaki grills are typically propane-heated, flat-surfaced, and are widely used to cook food in front of guests at restaurants. With a solid griddle-type cook surface, the teppan-yaki is capable of cooking small or semisolid ingredients such as rice, egg, and finely chopped vegetables.
