A quick and easy hibachi-style fried rice cooked on a Blackstone griddle, featuring fresh vegetables and a perfect balance of savory seasonings for a nostalgic, crowd-pleasing meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably day-old for best texture)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup diced carrots (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup chopped green onions (white and green parts)
  • 1 cup chopped zucchini (optional)
  • 1/2 cup diced yellow onion
  • 1 cup chopped cabbage (small-curd)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or canola oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced or grated
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon mirin or rice vinegar

Instructions

  1. Chop all vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Beat the eggs in a small bowl and set aside. Ensure cooked jasmine rice is cold and separated to prevent clumps.
  2. Preheat the Blackstone griddle on medium-high heat for about 5 minutes until hot enough that a drop of water sizzles on contact.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the griddle. Pour in beaten eggs and scramble quickly with spatula until just set but still moist. Remove eggs and set aside.
  4. Add remaining oil. Toss in garlic, ginger, and diced onions. Stir constantly until fragrant and translucent without burning.
  5. Add carrots, zucchini, cabbage, and half of the green onions. Stir-fry until veggies are tender-crisp with bright colors and a little snap.
  6. Add the cold jasmine rice, breaking up any clumps with your spatula. Spread it out evenly on the griddle. Let it sit for a minute, then stir to develop a slight crisp on the bottom.
  7. Drizzle soy sauce and sesame oil evenly over the rice. Season with salt and pepper. Add optional mirin or rice vinegar for subtle tang. Toss everything together thoroughly.
  8. Add the scrambled eggs back in and toss with the rice and vegetables. Sprinkle remaining green onions on top. Stir and taste for seasoning.
  9. Remove from griddle and serve hot immediately.

Notes

Use day-old rice for best texture. Cook eggs separately to avoid rubberiness. Avoid overcrowding the griddle to keep vegetables crisp. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos. For vegan, omit eggs or replace with scrambled tofu seasoned with turmeric. Let rice sit briefly on the hot griddle to develop a slight crisp before stirring. Leftovers reheat best in a skillet or griddle, not microwave.
