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 reaches the ideal temperature for cooking fried rice evenly and achieving a slight crisp.
- Add oils: Add the sesame oil and vegetable oil to the hot griddle surface, distributing evenly for maximum flavor and to prevent sticking.
- Cook scrambled eggs: Pour the beaten eggs onto one side of the griddle and scramble gently until just cooked, then push the eggs to the side to make space for vegetables and rice.
- Sauté vegetables: Add the frozen peas and diced carrots blend to the other side of the griddle and sauté for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are heated through and slightly tender.
- Add rice and crisp: Spread the cooled cooked rice evenly over the griddle. Let it cook undisturbed for a few minutes to allow the bottom layer to crisp slightly, adding texture to the dish.
- Combine ingredients: Mix the scrambled eggs, sautéed vegetables, and rice together on the griddle to combine all components evenly.
- Season the fried rice: Drizzle soy sauce over the mixture and sprinkle salt and black pepper to taste, then stir well to distribute the seasoning thoroughly.
- Final stir-fry: Continue stir-frying everything together for another 3–4 minutes, ensuring the rice is hot throughout and all flavors are well blended.
- Serve: Serve the Blackstone fried rice hot as a satisfying side dish or as a flavorful base to accompany grilled chicken, shrimp, or beef.
Notes
- Use day-old rice or rice cooked and cooled to prevent clumping and achieve better texture.
- Adjust soy sauce and salt according to taste preference depending on the saltiness of the soy sauce brand used.
- For extra flavor, you can add chopped green onions or minced garlic during the vegetable sauté step.
- You can customize by adding your choice of protein such as diced chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
- Be careful not to overcook the eggs to keep them tender and moist.
