Ingredients
Scale
Rice and Vegetables
- 4 cups cooked and chilled white rice (preferably day-old)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots, thawed
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
Eggs and Sauces
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (plus more as needed)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional for depth)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Griddle: Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat. Once hot, drizzle the vegetable oil over the surface and spread it evenly.
- Sauté Onions and Garlic: Add the chopped onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
- Cook Vegetables: Add the thawed peas and carrots and cook for 2–3 minutes until heated through.
- Scramble Eggs: Push the vegetables to one side of the griddle, pour the beaten eggs onto the other side, and scramble until fully cooked. Then mix the eggs into the vegetables.
- Add Rice: Add the chilled rice to the griddle, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Mix everything together and let the rice heat through, stirring occasionally.
- Season Rice: Drizzle soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and sesame oil over the rice. Toss to coat evenly and cook for another 3–4 minutes, allowing the rice to get slightly crispy.
- Final Seasoning and Serve: Taste and adjust with salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot.
Notes
- Use cold, day-old rice to avoid mushy fried rice.
- Customize by adding diced chicken, shrimp, or tofu for extra protein.
- Add a splash of sriracha or chili oil if you prefer some heat.
- If a Blackstone griddle is not available, a large cast-iron skillet or flat griddle pan on the stovetop can be used.
