Equipment
- Blackstone Griddle
- Metal Spatulas (Set of Two)
- Oil Squeeze Bottle
- Mixing Bowls
- Griddle Cover or Dome
- Chopping Board & Knife
Ingredients
For the Fried Rice
- 4 cups cooked and cooled rice preferably day-old
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil or sesame oil for extra flavor
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots or any mixed vegetables
- ½ cup green onions chopped
- 3 tbsp soy sauce adjust to taste
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce optional but adds depth
- 1 tsp garlic powder or 2 cloves fresh garlic minced
- 1 tsp ginger powder or ½ tsp fresh ginger minced
- ½ tsp black pepper
- Salt to taste
Optional Protein Add-ins
- 1 cup cooked chicken diced
- 1 cup shrimp peeled and deveined
- 1 cup beef or pork thinly sliced
For Garnish
- Extra green onions
- Sesame seeds
- Sriracha or yum yum sauce for serving
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Blackstone Griddle (2-3 minutes)
- Turn your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat and let it preheat for a few minutes. Once hot, drizzle 1 tablespoon of oil across the surface.
- Pro Tip: A hot griddle prevents sticking and gives the rice a delicious seared texture.
Step 2: Cook the Eggs (1-2 minutes)
- Pour the beaten eggs onto the griddle and let them set for a few seconds. Use your spatula to scramble them gently until fully cooked. Once done, push them to the side of the griddle or transfer to a bowl.
Step 3: Cook the Protein (3-5 minutes) [If using]
- If adding chicken, shrimp, beef, or pork, drizzle another tablespoon of oil on the griddle. Spread the protein out in a single layer and cook until golden brown and fully cooked. Move it to the side with the eggs.
- Pro Tip: Avoid crowding the griddle—this helps proteins sear nicely instead of steaming.
Step 4: Sauté the Veggies (2-3 minutes)
- Add the remaining oil, then toss in the peas, carrots, and green onions. Stir-fry them for a couple of minutes until they soften slightly but still have some crunch.
Step 5: Add the Rice (3-4 minutes)
- Spread the cooked rice over the griddle and stir it around, letting it crisp up slightly. Keep stirring so every grain gets coated in oil.
- Pro Tip: Use the edge of your spatula to chop up any clumps of rice for even frying.
Step 6: Add the Seasonings (2 minutes)
- Drizzle the soy sauce, oyster sauce, garlic powder, ginger, salt, and black pepper over the rice. Stir everything together until well combined and the rice takes on a nice golden-brown color.
Step 7: Mix Everything Together (1-2 minutes)
- Bring the cooked eggs and protein back into the rice and stir well. Let it cook for another minute or two, allowing all the flavors to blend.
Step 8: Serve and Enjoy!
- Turn off the griddle and transfer the fried rice to a serving dish. Garnish with extra green onions, sesame seeds, or a drizzle of sriracha. Serve hot and enjoy your homemade Blackstone Fried Rice!
- Pro Tip: Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 3 days—just reheat on the griddle or in a skillet for best results.
