Ingredients
Scale
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 it’s hot enough for frying the rice evenly and achieving that signature crispiness.
- Add oils: Pour the sesame oil and vegetable oil onto the hot griddle surface, coating it evenly to prevent sticking and to infuse the dish with rich flavor.
- Cook the eggs: Pour the beaten eggs onto one side of the griddle and scramble them gently until just cooked but still tender. Then, push the scrambled eggs to the side to make room for the vegetables and rice.
- Sauté the vegetables: Add the frozen peas and diced carrots blend to the other side of the griddle and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally until heated through and slightly tender.
- Add the rice: Spread the cooled rice evenly over the griddle’s surface, allowing it to crisp slightly for better texture and flavor development.
- Combine ingredients: Mix the scrambled eggs and sautéed vegetables into the crisped rice, combining everything thoroughly on the griddle.
- Add seasoning: Drizzle the soy sauce over the rice mixture, then sprinkle the salt and black pepper evenly to season.
- Stir-fry the mixture: Stir-fry everything together for 3 to 4 minutes until the soy sauce is fully incorporated, the ingredients are heated through, and the flavors meld perfectly.
- Serve: Serve the fried rice hot, either as a delicious side or as a flavorful base for grilled chicken, shrimp, or beef.
Notes
- Use day-old rice or rice that has been cooled thoroughly for the best texture, as freshly cooked rice can be too moist and lead to clumping.
- You can swap frozen peas and carrots for any other mixed vegetables you prefer.
- Adjust soy sauce quantity to taste for less sodium or a milder flavor.
- To make it vegetarian or vegan, omit the eggs or substitute with scrambled tofu.
- For added protein, serve with grilled meat or seafood as suggested.
