Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 cups day-old cooked rice, chilled and separated
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 cup carrots, diced
  • 1/2 cup peas (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup protein of choice (chicken, shrimp, tofu, or pork), diced

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Chop all vegetables, protein, and green onions into bite-sized pieces. Ensure the rice is cold and grains are separated to prevent clumping.
  2. Heat the Blackstone Griddle: Preheat the griddle on medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil and heat until shimmering to prepare for cooking and prevent sticking.
  3. Cook the Protein: Add the diced protein to the griddle and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and fully cooked. Remove from the griddle and set aside.
  4. Scramble the Eggs: Add a bit more oil if necessary. Crack the eggs onto the griddle and stir quickly to scramble until fluffy. Once cooked, mix the eggs into the rice.
  5. Sauté Aromatics and Vegetables: In the same area on the griddle, add garlic, carrots, peas, and any additional vegetables. Cook until fragrant and vegetables are slightly tender.
  6. Combine Rice and Add Sauce: Spread the cold rice evenly over the griddle and let it sit briefly to develop a slight crisp. Fold in soy sauce gradually, then add cooked protein, scrambled eggs, and green onions. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  7. Finish and Serve: Toss everything together once more to fully integrate flavors. Taste and adjust soy sauce or seasoning as needed. Serve hot with optional garnishes.

Notes

  • Use chilled day-old rice for best texture; freshly cooked rice can be too soft and sticky.
  • Cook in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding and maintain high heat for proper searing.
  • Prepare all ingredients before cooking to ensure quick, smooth cooking without burning.
  • Add soy sauce gradually to avoid watery rice and control flavor balance.
  • Maintain high heat throughout cooking for a perfect smoky, charred flavor.
