A quick and easy fried rice recipe cooked on a Blackstone griddle that delivers a crispy, golden texture with savory depth and satisfying crunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups (600g) cooked white rice, preferably day-old and chilled
  • 3 tbsp (45 ml) vegetable oil (grapeseed or canola recommended)
  • 3 tbsp (45 ml) soy sauce (Kikkoman preferred)
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) sesame oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 green onions, sliced thin
  • 1 cup (150g) frozen peas and carrots
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup (150g) cooked chicken or shrimp, optional, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat (around 375°F / 190°C) and let it warm up for about 5 minutes until hot but not smoking.
  2. Pour the beaten eggs onto the griddle and scramble quickly, breaking them into small pieces as they cook (about 2 minutes). Once cooked, push them to the side.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and the minced garlic to the griddle. Stir quickly until fragrant (around 30 seconds). Toss in the frozen peas and carrots, cooking until warmed through and slightly tender, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add the remaining oil and spread the chilled rice evenly over the griddle. Let it sit undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to develop a crisp bottom layer. Stir and flip the rice, mixing in the cooked chicken or shrimp if using, and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes to allow more crisp bits to form.
  5. Drizzle soy sauce and sesame oil evenly over the rice mixture. Add scrambled eggs back in and toss everything together. Sprinkle sliced green onions, season with salt and pepper to taste, and give it a final stir. Cook for 1-2 more minutes to meld flavors and achieve the desired crispness.

Notes

Use day-old chilled rice for best crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the griddle to allow rice to crisp properly. Scramble eggs separately and fold in last to avoid overcooking. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari. If no griddle, a cast-iron skillet can be used but crispiness may be reduced. Use a metal scraper to gently lift crispy bits without damaging the griddle.
