There’s something magical about cooking outdoors. I remember the first time we fired up the Blackstone at a family barbecue—the aroma of sizzling rice, juicy chicken, and veggies filled the air. Since then, this fried rice recipe has been our go-to! It’s quick, full of flavor, and perfect for feeding a crowd. Try it with chicken, shrimp, or steak—it’s always a hit. Get your griddle ready and enjoy a little backyard hibachi magic!
3 tbsp vegetable oil
2 lbs chicken breast (cubed), steak, or shrimp
1 large onion, diced
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup frozen peas
4 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
5 large eggs
1 tbsp sesame oil
¼ cup soy sauce (low sodium or regular)
Optional: 2 tbsp fermented black bean sauce
Optional: 1 tbsp chili oil or chili crunch
Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium heat.
Add vegetable oil and spread evenly.
Start by cooking your protein (chicken, shrimp, or steak) for 2–4 minutes.
In another spot, sauté onions and carrots for 2–3 minutes.
Add peas and cook another 2–3 minutes.
Add cooked rice, make a space in the center, and crack in the eggs. Mix and cook until eggs are done.
Combine all ingredients and mix well.
Add soy sauce and sesame oil. Mix thoroughly.
For extra flavor, stir in fermented black bean sauce and chili oil.
Serve hot and enjoy!
✔ Use day-old rice for the best texture (fresh rice can be mushy).
✔ Prep ingredients ahead for faster cooking.
✔ High heat is key—keeps ingredients from steaming instead of searing.
✔ Customize the spice level with chili oil or black bean sauce.
