Cooked rice
  • 4 cup cooked rice, cold Cold rice helps prevent mushy grains.

Equipment

  • 1 Blackstone griddle

Method
 

Scramble the eggs
  1. Heat the Blackstone griddle to high heat and add 2 tablespoons oil. Pour the beaten eggs onto the griddle and scramble until just cooked, then move them to the side.
Cook the vegetables and rice
  1. Add the remaining oil and cook the onions, peas, and carrots for 3-4 minutes, stirring so they heat through and soften.
  2. Add the cold rice and break up any clumps with spatulas, cooking for 5-6 minutes until the grains separate and start to toast.
Sauce and finish
  1. Add the garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil, tossing everything together until evenly coated.
  2. Mix in the scrambled eggs and green onions, season with salt and pepper, and serve hot.

Notes

Use cold day-old rice for the best texture; if you only have fresh rice, spread it on a tray to cool and dry before cooking. Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days in a sealed container and reheat in a hot skillet or on the griddle until steaming. Freezing is not recommended because the rice texture can turn softer after thawing. For a dairy-free swap, keep it as-is; for a vegetarian version, use vegetarian oyster sauce if available.
