A quick and easy fried rice recipe made on a Blackstone griddle that kids love, featuring simple ingredients and a flavorful, crispy texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked and chilled long-grain white rice (preferably day-old)
  • 3 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (can substitute with canola or peanut oil)
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 stalks green onions, sliced thin
  • 1 medium carrot, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep the rice: Use leftover rice that’s been chilled for at least a few hours to prevent clumping and improve texture. If using fresh rice, spread it on a tray to cool quickly.
  2. Heat the Blackstone griddle on medium-high heat for about 5 minutes until hot but not smoking.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the griddle. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble gently until just set. Remove eggs to a bowl and set aside.
  4. Add the remaining oil, minced garlic, diced carrots, and peas to the griddle. Stir frequently for about 3-4 minutes until veggies are tender but still bright.
  5. Spread the chilled rice evenly on the griddle. Let it sit without stirring for about 2 minutes to develop a slight crust. Then toss and flip to get crispy edges on all sides, about 5 minutes total.
  6. Drizzle soy sauce and sesame oil evenly over the rice. Stir well to combine, making sure every grain is coated.
  7. Mix the scrambled eggs back into the rice along with the sliced green onions. Stir for another minute to blend flavors and heat through.
  8. Season with salt and pepper as needed. Optionally, add crushed red pepper flakes for extra kick.
  9. Serve hot immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

Use day-old rice for best texture to avoid clumping. Preheat the griddle well to get crispy rice edges. Don’t overcrowd the griddle; cook in batches if needed. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari. For vegan, omit eggs and add extra veggies or tofu.
