Ingredients

Scale

Rice

  • 3 cups day-old chilled cooked rice

Vegetables

  • 1/2 cup peas
  • 1/2 cup diced carrots
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Protein

  • 1 cup cooked chicken, shrimp, tofu, or choice of protein, diced
  • 2 eggs, beaten

Sauces & Oils

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or gluten-free tamari)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable or sesame oil

Optional Add-Ins & Seasonings

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chili flakes or Sriracha for spicy kick (optional)
  • Pineapple chunks or hoisin sauce for sweet and savory variation (optional)
  • Toasted sesame seeds, chopped cilantro, crushed peanuts for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Blackstone Griddle: Heat your Blackstone griddle over medium-high heat until hot to ensure even cooking and to achieve a slight crisp on the rice.
  2. Cook the Protein: Add a tablespoon of oil, then cook your chosen protein until browned and fully cooked. Remove from the griddle and set aside to preserve flavor and tenderness.
  3. Sauté Vegetables and Aromatics: In the same area, add garlic and diced vegetables like carrots, peas, and bell peppers. Sauté until tender but still crisp, locking in their natural sweetness.
  4. Scramble the Eggs: Push the vegetables to one side and pour in the beaten eggs. Stir gently to scramble until just cooked, adding a rich texture and protein boost.
  5. Combine Rice and Add Sauce: Add chilled rice and cooked protein back to the griddle. Break up any clumps with a spatula, then evenly pour soy sauce and any additional sauces. Mix thoroughly so every grain is coated in flavor.
  6. Finish with Green Onions and Seasoning: Toss in chopped green onions and season with salt, pepper, and a splash of sesame oil. Stir quickly and remove from heat once evenly cooked and vibrant.

Notes

  • Use cold, day-old rice to prevent mushy texture.
  • Cook on high heat for best texture and flavor.
  • Prep all ingredients before cooking as the process is fast.
  • Do not overcrowd the griddle to allow even cooking and searing.
  • Add sauces gradually to avoid overpowering the dish.
