Equipment

  • Blackstone griddle

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups cooled cooked jasmine rice
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1 cup frozen mixed peas and diced carrots
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped green onions
  • 3 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 3 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients

  • Begin by gathering and prepping all your ingredients. Cut the chicken breasts into small cubes, chop the green onions, and mince the ginger. Ensure your jasmine rice is cooked and cooled; leftover rice works best.

Step 2: Heat the Griddle

  • Heat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat. Add the canola oil and toasted sesame oil to the griddle. Let it get hot, but not smoking.

Step 3: Cook the Chicken

  • Add the cubed chicken to the griddle. Spread it out evenly and let it sear for about 3-5 minutes on each side, until it’s golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set it aside.

Step 4: Sauté the Veggies

  • On the same griddle, toss in the frozen peas and diced carrots. Cook them for about 4-5 minutes, or until they’re tender but still have a bit of crunch.

Step 5: Add the Aromatics

  • Next, add the minced ginger and chopped green onions to the vegetables. Sauté for another 2 minutes until the ginger releases its fragrance.

Step 6: Scramble the Eggs

  • Push the veggies to one side of the griddle. On the other side, pour the lightly beaten eggs onto the surface. Scramble them until they’re fully cooked, then mix them with the vegetables.

Step 7: Introduce the Rice

  • Add the cooled jasmine rice to the griddle. Spread it out evenly and let it sit undisturbed for about 3 minutes to allow it to crisp up slightly.

Step 8: Combine Everything

  • Return the cooked chicken to the griddle. Pour the tamari or soy sauce over the mixture, season with sea salt and black pepper, and stir everything together until well mixed and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 9: Serve and Enjoy

  • Serve hot, and garnish with additional chopped green onions if desired. This makes for an incomparable meal any day of the week.

Notes

  • Use Day-Old Rice: Day-old jasmine rice works best as it’s less sticky and absorbs flavors better.
  • Temperature Control: Keep the griddle at medium-high heat for even cooking and to prevent burning.
  • Vegetable Consistency: Ensure the veggies are evenly cut to cook uniformly.
  • Don’t Overcrowd: Avoid overcrowding the griddle to ensure all ingredients cook evenly.
  • Seasoning Tweaks: Adjust soy sauce and salt according to your taste preferences or dietary needs.
