Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 cups day-old cooked white rice
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 medium carrot, shredded
  • 1/2 cup frozen or fresh peas
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil (canola or vegetable)
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon mirin
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Chopped green onions for garnish
  • Optional: toasted sesame seeds, sriracha or chili garlic sauce for heat

Instructions

  1. Prep the Ingredients (10 minutes): Dice chicken into bite-sized pieces. Chop onion, shred carrot, measure peas. Mince garlic and grate ginger. Have cold day-old rice ready. Beat eggs lightly.
  2. Heat the Blackstone Griddle: Preheat griddle to medium-high heat (around 375°F). Add 1 tablespoon of neutral oil and spread evenly.
  3. Sear the Chicken (5-7 minutes): Place chicken pieces on hot griddle in a single layer. Let sear without moving for about 3 minutes until browned. Flip and cook another 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Season with salt and pepper. Remove and set aside.
  4. Cook the Vegetables & Aromatics (3-4 minutes): Add more oil if needed. Toss in onions, carrots, peas, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry until tender but vibrant, about 3 minutes.
  5. Scramble the Eggs (2 minutes): Push veggies to one side, pour beaten eggs on empty spot. Let set slightly, then scramble gently until just cooked but moist.
  6. Add Rice and Combine (5 minutes): Add cold rice to griddle. Break up clumps and mix with veggies and eggs. Spread rice out and let sit for 1-2 minutes to toast slightly.
  7. Season the Fried Rice: Drizzle soy sauce and mirin over rice. Stir well to coat evenly. Taste and adjust seasoning with black pepper or more soy sauce as needed.
  8. Finish the Dish (1-2 minutes): Return chicken to griddle, toss into rice mixture to reheat and blend flavors. Drizzle sesame oil over everything before serving.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped green onions and optional toasted sesame seeds on top. Serve hot straight from the griddle.

Notes

Use day-old rice to avoid mushy fried rice. Pat chicken dry before searing for best caramelization. Do not overcrowd the griddle to ensure even searing. Drizzle sesame oil at the end for authentic flavor. Leftovers reheat best in a skillet with soy sauce and sesame oil; avoid microwaving to keep rice texture.
