Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
- Cooked Jasmine Rice: Use day-old rice for best results; it’s drier and holds up better during frying.
- Vegetable Oil: A neutral oil works best; it helps achieve that beautiful golden crust.
- Eggs: Scramble them separately for fluffiness before adding them back into the mix.
- Soy Sauce: Opt for low-sodium soy sauce to balance flavors without overwhelming saltiness.
- Green Onions: Freshly chopped green onions add color and a nice crunch.
- Mixed Vegetables: Frozen or fresh will do; carrots and peas are classic choices.
- Garlic Cloves: Minced garlic elevates the flavor profile significantly—don’t skip it!
- Pepper (Optional): Add ground pepper or chili flakes if you enjoy some heat.

Let’s Make it together
Prepare yourself; this is going to be fun!
Gather Your Ingredients: Start by assembling all your ingredients so everything is within reach when you’re ready to cook.
Heat Up Your Blackstone Griddle: Preheat your griddle over medium-high heat until it’s hot enough that water droplets sizzle upon contact.
Add Oil & Vegetables: Drizzle vegetable oil across the griddle; toss in your mixed vegetables and let them sauté until tender—about 3–5 minutes should do.
Scramble Those Eggs: Push your veggies aside and crack in your eggs. Scramble vigorously until they’re fluffy and cooked through before mixing them back with the veggies.
Toss in Garlic & Rice: Add minced garlic next; cook until fragrant—around 30 seconds. Then introduce your cold jasmine rice into the mixture while stirring continuously.
Season & Serve: Pour soy sauce evenly over everything while stirring well. Cook until heated through—this should take about 2 minutes—and then sprinkle with green onions before serving hot.
Now you’ve got yourself an irresistibly tasty Blackstone Fried Rice! Enjoy every flavorful bite as if you were dining at your favorite restaurant right from home.
