Ingredients
Oils
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups cooked rice, cooled
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup frozen peas and diced carrots blend
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
Instructions
- Preheat the griddle: Preheat your Blackstone griddle over medium-high heat to ensure a hot cooking surface for frying the ingredients evenly.
- Add oils: Pour the sesame oil and vegetable oil onto the hot griddle to coat the surface and infuse flavor into the fried rice.
- Cook eggs: Pour the beaten eggs onto one side of the griddle and scramble them until just cooked, then push the eggs to one side to make space for other ingredients.
- Sauté vegetables: Add the frozen peas and diced carrots to the other side of the griddle and sauté for 2–3 minutes until heated through, softening the vegetables.
- Add rice: Spread the cooled cooked rice evenly across the griddle to encourage crisping and even heating over direct contact with the surface.
- Combine ingredients: Mix the scrambled eggs, sautéed vegetables, and rice together on the griddle for a cohesive blend of flavors and textures.
- Season: Drizzle soy sauce over the combined mixture and season with salt and black pepper to enhance the savory profile of the dish.
- Final stir fry: Stir-fry everything for another 3–4 minutes on the griddle until fully combined, the rice is hot through, and slightly crispy for perfect texture.
- Serve: Serve the fried rice hot as a side dish or as a flavorful base for grilled chicken, shrimp, or beef.
Notes
- Use day-old cooked rice for the best texture to avoid mushy fried rice.
- Adjust the soy sauce quantity to taste for desired saltiness.
- You can add additional protein such as chopped chicken or shrimp during step 6 if desired.
- Ensure the griddle is hot before cooking to get a nice crisp on the rice.
- Feel free to substitute frozen peas and carrots with fresh vegetables as preferred.
