A quick and easy fried rice recipe cooked on a Blackstone griddle, featuring crispy rice, juicy chicken, tender shrimp, and fresh veggies for a flavorful and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup boneless, skinless chicken thighs, diced
  • 1 cup medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 cups cooked jasmine rice, chilled (day-old rice preferred)
  • 1/2 cup diced carrots
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp vegetable or canola oil

Instructions

  1. Dice the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and season lightly with salt and pepper. Peel and devein the shrimp if not already done. Dice carrots, slice green onions, and mince garlic. Ensure cooked rice is chilled.
  2. Preheat the Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat (around 375°F). Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to coat the surface evenly.
  3. Add chicken to the griddle, spreading it out. Let it sear without moving for 2-3 minutes to get a crust, then stir and cook until nearly done. Add shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 2 minutes. Remove proteins and set aside.
  4. Add a little oil if needed. Pour beaten eggs onto the griddle, let them set slightly, then scramble gently. Remove eggs and set aside with proteins.
  5. Add another tablespoon of oil. Toss in garlic, diced carrots, and peas. Stir frequently until fragrant and veggies are tender but still crisp.
  6. Spread chilled rice over the griddle in an even layer. Let it cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes to crisp the bottom. Use a spatula to flip and scrape sections to create crispy bits all around.
  7. Return chicken, shrimp, and scrambled eggs to the griddle. Drizzle soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil evenly over the mixture. Toss everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes to meld flavors and crisp rice more.
  8. Turn off heat. Sprinkle sliced green onions on top for freshness and color.

Notes

Use day-old chilled rice for best crispiness. Do not overcrowd the griddle; cook in batches if needed. If rice isn’t crispy enough, let it cook a few extra minutes undisturbed. For gluten-free, use tamari or gluten-free soy sauce and check oyster sauce ingredients. Leftovers reheat best on a hot skillet or griddle to restore crispiness.
