Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably day-old, chilled in the fridge for best texture)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (neutral oil with high smoke point, like canola or grapeseed)
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten (room temperature for fluffy texture)
- 1/2 cup diced onion (sweet yellow or white onion)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped scallions (green parts only)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix, thawed
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients: Ensure cooked jasmine rice is cold and clump-free. Dice onions, chop scallions, mince garlic, and thaw peas and carrots. Beat eggs lightly with a pinch of salt.
- Preheat the Blackstone grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F / 190°C) until hot.
- Add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the grill surface and spread evenly.
- Sauté diced onions and minced garlic for about 2 minutes until fragrant and slightly translucent. Add peas and carrots and cook for another 2-3 minutes until tender but vibrant.
- Push veggies aside and pour beaten eggs onto the empty spot. Let sit for 15 seconds, then scramble gently until just set. Mix eggs with veggies.
- Add cold jasmine rice to the grill, break up clumps, and mix everything together. Spread rice in an even layer and let sit undisturbed for 3-4 minutes to form a golden crust.
- Drizzle soy sauce and sesame oil evenly over the rice. Toss thoroughly to coat without soaking. Season with salt and pepper as needed. Sprinkle chopped scallions on top and toss once more.
- Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
Use day-old rice chilled overnight for best texture. Avoid overcrowding the grill surface to ensure crispiness. If rice isn’t crisping well, ensure grill is hot enough. Use low-sodium soy sauce to avoid overpowering saltiness. For gluten-free, substitute tamari for soy sauce. For vegan, omit eggs and butter and use vegan alternatives.
