Fried Rice on the Blackstone Griddle

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

6 cups cooked white rice (cooled)

1 tablespoon avocado oil (or your favorite cooking oil)

1 cup frozen peas and diced carrots

1 cup diced onions

1/2 stick butter

1/2 cup soy sauce

1-2 tablespoons garlic powder

salt and pepper (to taste)

2 eggs (optional)

Directions

Preheat griddle on low until it reaches about 375-425 degrees F.

Add about 1 tablespoon of avocado oil (or your favorite cooking oil) to the heated griddle and spread it around a bit with your spatula. Add the diced onions and peas and carrots blend to the oiled surface and sauté until tender.

When the vegetables are about halfway cooked through, move them to the side of the griddle, and add the cooled rice to the hotter zone on the griddle. The rice will probably be a bit clumpy since it is cooled, so use your spatula to loosen it and sauté it as it heats.

When rice is heated through, make a "well" in the center of the rice and add half a stick of butter. As the butter melts in the middle, add the soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the rice. Add the cooked vegetables to the rice. Mix everything together. Add more soy sauce and seasonings at this time if you wish.

Cook two lightly beaten eggs on the griddle. Chop up the cooked eggs and mix them into the fried rice and vegetable mixture.

Continue to cook the fried rice on the griddle until it is crispy and done to your liking. Then, remove the fried rice from the griddle and serve warm with your favorite sauces or green onion garnish.
