When we make rice, I always make extra. That way, we can repurpose it the next day to make fried rice on the Blackstone Griddle.

It is simple and makes the perfect easy side to most any protein.

Why is a Blackstone Griddle Perfect for Making Fried Rice?

If you are new to griddle cooking, you may be wondering why the Blackstone Griddle is the perfect choice for making fried rice.

First, it heats up evenly, so you get perfectly cooked fried rice every time. It offers much more even cooking than my electric stove.

Second, the griddle’s size means that you can cook a large batch at once - perfect for feeding the whole family. (Especially when you have teenage boys!)

Ingredient Talk

I like using avocado oil here because it handles high heat and has a mild flavor. If you want to cook with butter, mix it with a little avocado oil to prevent burning.

You’ll need three large eggs, but feel free to adjust up or down depending on how eggy you like your fried rice. Any bell pepper works: green, red, or yellow.

The rice should be fully cooked and completely cooled. I usually make mine the night before using my recipe for Instant Pot Jasmine Rice, which gives you the best texture. Soy sauce, gluten-free tamari, or coconut aminos all work interchangeably.

Ginger adds great flavor, but fresh ginger can be surprisingly spicy, so dial it back if you’re cooking for kids.

If you want to boost the flavor, garlic powder or smoked paprika are great additions.

Tips & Tricks

Chop your veggies into small pieces to ensure they cook evenly. No one wants to bite into a big chunk of uncooked carrot or onion in their fried rice!
Want to Mix Up the Veggies? You can use any veggies in your fried rice! We love onions, peppers, and carrots. You could also add in some mushrooms, broccoli, zucchinior even corn.
Frozen veggies can be used as a weeknight time saver. Just make sure to thaw them first.
You want your rice to be cool before you make fried rice. If you are cooking rice fresh, I recommend spreading it on a baking sheet to allow it to cool quickly.
Adding a protein to your fried rice makes it a meal. Chicken, shrimp, or tofu are great options.

Serving Suggestions

Blackstone Fried Rice makes a great vegetarian meal all on its own!

If you are looking to serve this with a separate protein, try Air Fryer Chicken Thighs, Instant Pot Chicken Drumsticks, or Blackstone teriyaki chicken.

Then, add in your beaten eggs and cook until set, about one minute. Remove to a plate and chop.

Next, add in your veggies. I like to use a mixture of bell peppers, onions, and carrots.

Add in a tablespoon of soy sauce (or gluten-free tamari) and some minced ginger. Fry until crisp-tender, about three to five minutes.

Now, it's time to add in the cooked rice.

I like to use jasmine rice, but you can use whatever kind of rice you have on hand.

Stir in the remaining soy sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Cook for three minutes, stirring frequently.

Finally, add the egg back in and cook for two minutes. Serve with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
