Rice
- 2 cups day-old cooked rice (cold, leftover rice preferred)
Vegetables
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 1/2 cup diced carrots
- 1/2 cup peas
- 3 scallions, chopped
Proteins
- 1 cup chicken, shrimp, beef, or tofu, cubed
Aromatics & Flavorings
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp cooking oil (vegetable or canola oil)
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Chop all vegetables finely and cube your protein choice. Beat the eggs and arrange all ingredients near your Blackstone for an efficient cooking process.
- Preheat the Blackstone Griddle: Set the griddle to medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil. Heat until hot enough to sizzle but not smoking heavily.
- Cook the Protein: Add your chosen protein to the griddle and cook until browned and fully cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- Sauté Aromatics and Vegetables: Add minced garlic and ginger to the griddle with a little more oil, then add the diced onions, carrots, peas, and half the scallions. Stir frequently to prevent burning and to keep the vegetables crisp.
- Scramble the Eggs: Push the vegetables to one side of the griddle, pour beaten eggs into the cleared space, and scramble gently until soft and fluffy.
- Combine and Fry Rice: Add the cold rice to the griddle and mix thoroughly with the eggs and vegetables. Spread and press the rice to encourage crispy spots.
- Season and Finish: Return the cooked protein to the griddle, drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil evenly over the rice mixture, and toss to coat well. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to blend flavors. Garnish with remaining chopped scallions.
Notes
- Use cold, day-old rice for best texture and to avoid clumping.
- Maintain high heat on the griddle for crispy rice without overcooking other ingredients.
- Avoid overcrowding the griddle; cook in batches if necessary for even cooking.
- Chop and prepare all ingredients before cooking to ensure a smooth workflow.
- Adjust soy sauce and seasonings at the end, tasting to avoid oversalting.
