  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Rice

  • 3 cups cooked day-old or chilled rice

Soy Sauce & Seasonings

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced

Vegetables

  • 1/2 cup diced carrots
  • 1/2 cup peas (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions

Protein Options

  • 1 cup chicken, shrimp, beef, or tofu (cubed or sliced)

Eggs

  • 2 large eggs, beaten

Cooking Oil

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or peanut oil

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Chop all vegetables into small, uniform pieces to ensure even cooking. Lightly beat the eggs and set aside. Make sure the rice is chilled and separated to avoid clumping.
  2. Heat the Blackstone Griddle: Preheat the griddle to medium-high heat. Once hot, add cooking oil and spread evenly. A hot griddle is key to getting a perfect sear on the ingredients.
  3. Cook the Aromatics and Protein: Sauté minced garlic and ginger on the griddle until fragrant. Add your chosen protein and cook thoroughly. Remove protein from the griddle and set aside to prevent overcooking and maintain flavor distinction.
  4. Stir-Fry the Vegetables: Add diced carrots, peas, and half of the green onions to the griddle. Stir-fry until vegetables are just tender but still crisp and vibrant in color.
  5. Add the Rice and Eggs: Spread the chilled rice evenly over the griddle and let it sit undisturbed for about a minute to develop a slight crust. Push the rice aside, pour the beaten eggs directly onto the griddle, scramble them gently, then mix with the rice.
  6. Season and Combine: Drizzle soy sauce evenly over the rice mixture and stir to coat all ingredients thoroughly. Return the cooked protein to the griddle and toss everything together well for balanced, savory flavor.
  7. Finish and Serve: Remove the fried rice from the heat. Sprinkle with the remaining sliced green onions and serve immediately while hot and flavorful.

Notes

  • Use day-old rice for best texture; fresh rice is too moist and clumps.
  • Do not overcrowd the griddle; cook in batches if necessary to ensure even searing.
  • Maintain medium-high heat to capture the authentic smoky “wok hei” flavor.
  • Prepare all ingredients before heating as fried rice cooks quickly.
  • Add soy sauce gradually to avoid over-salting; taste as you go.
