Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

2 cups cooked day-old rice
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 large eggs, whisked
3 green onions, sliced

Vegetables

1/2 cup peas
1/2 cup diced carrots
1/2 cup corn kernels
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced

Protein Options (choose one or a combination)

1 cup cooked chicken, diced
1 cup cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup cooked tofu, cubed

Instructions

Preheat and Prepare the Blackstone Griddle: Turn on your Blackstone griddle and allow it to heat up to medium-high. This ensures the surface is hot enough to quickly fry ingredients while locking in flavors.
Cook the Aromatics: Add vegetable oil to the griddle and sauté minced garlic and ginger until fragrant, releasing their rich aroma and flavor into the oil.
Scramble the Eggs: Push the aromatics aside and pour whisked eggs onto the griddle, quickly scrambling them until just set but still moist.
Add Vegetables and Protein: Stir in your chosen mix of vegetables and pre-cooked protein, allowing everything to warm through evenly on the hot surface.
Incorporate the Rice: Mix in the day-old cooked rice, breaking up any clumps and coating it with the flavorful aromatics, eggs, and veggies as you stir.
Season and Finish: Pour soy sauce evenly over the rice mixture, stirring continuously until all ingredients are combined and heated through. Finish with sliced green onions for freshness.

Notes

Use cold, day-old rice to avoid sogginess and achieve the perfect fried rice texture.
Pre-cook proteins like shrimp, chicken, or tofu to ensure safe temperatures and proper doneness.
Maintain medium-high heat on the griddle for a slightly crispy texture.
Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary for even cooking.
Customize your sauces by adding oyster sauce, hoisin, or sesame oil for unique flavor profiles.
