Ingredients
Scale
Oils
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Rice & Vegetables
- 4 cups cooked rice, cooled
- 1 cup frozen peas and diced carrots blend
Seasonings
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Eggs
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
Instructions
- Preheat the griddle: Heat your Blackstone griddle over medium-high heat to ensure an even and hot cooking surface, essential for achieving the perfect fried rice texture.
- Add oils: Pour the sesame oil and vegetable oil onto the hot griddle surface, spreading them evenly to coat the cooking area and enhance the flavor and texture of the dish.
- Cook eggs: Pour the beaten eggs onto one side of the griddle, scrambling gently until they are just cooked. Then, push the cooked eggs to the side to make space for other ingredients.
- Sauté vegetables: Add the frozen peas and diced carrots blend to the other side of the griddle, sautéing them for 2 to 3 minutes until they are fully heated through and tender.
- Add rice: Spread the cooled, cooked rice evenly over the griddle, allowing it to heat thoroughly and develop a slight crisp on the bottom, enhancing texture and flavor.
- Combine ingredients: Mix together the scrambled eggs, sautéed vegetables, and rice directly on the griddle to blend the flavors and ingredients evenly.
- Season the fried rice: Drizzle the soy sauce over the rice mixture and sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste, ensuring the dish is well-seasoned.
- Final stir-fry: Stir-fry all the ingredients together for an additional 3 to 4 minutes until everything is fully combined, heated through, and the flavors meld beautifully.
- Serve: Plate the fried rice hot as a delicious side dish or as a flavorful base to accompany grilled chicken, shrimp, or beef for a complete meal.
Notes
- Use day-old rice for best texture, as fresh rice can be too soft and sticky.
- Adjust soy sauce quantity according to taste preference and dietary salt requirements.
- You can substitute frozen vegetables with fresh chopped peas and carrots if preferred.
- Ensure the griddle or pan is sufficiently hot before adding ingredients to get the characteristic fried rice texture.
- Feel free to add protein like diced chicken, shrimp, or tofu to make it a complete meal.
