Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Dice chicken or tofu. If using shrimp, clean and devein. Marinate proteins in soy sauce, sesame oil, and garlic for 30 minutes. Dice onions, carrots, and optional vegetables. Slice scallions for garnish. Break up any clumps in the day-old rice for even cooking.
- Preheat the Griddle: Preheat the Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat for 5–10 minutes. Add 2–3 tablespoons of oil and spread evenly.
- Cook the Proteins: Add marinated chicken, shrimp, or tofu to the griddle. Cook for 3–5 minutes until golden and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Add carrots, onions, and optional vegetables to the griddle. Toss frequently for 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp. Add garlic and ginger during the last minute of cooking.
- Scramble the Eggs: Move the vegetables to one side of the griddle. Crack the eggs onto the empty space and scramble them. Once set, combine with the vegetables.
- Add the Rice and Seasoning: Spread the rice thinly on the griddle. Drizzle with soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper. Toss gently to coat. Combine rice with vegetables and proteins, ensuring an even mix.
- Achieve the Perfect Texture: Let the rice sit undisturbed for 1–2 minutes for a crispy texture. Toss and repeat if desired.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with sliced scallions and serve hot. Enjoy!
Notes
