Instructions
- Griddle Preparation: Fire up the Blackstone griddle to a sizzling 375-400°F, creating a perfectly heated cooking canvas.
- Oil Infusion: Generously coat the griddle surface with vegetable oil, establishing a non-stick culinary landscape.
- Protein Searing: Strategically lay out chicken, shrimp, or beef, allowing them to develop golden-brown, flavor-packed crusts while releasing tantalizing aromas.
- Vegetable Cascade: Tumble diced onions, carrots, and peas onto the heated terrain, orchestrating a dance of continuous stirring to prevent scorching and ensure even caramelization.
- Egg Transformation: Crack eggs into a dedicated griddle zone, swiftly scrambling them with precise, fluid motions to create soft, pillowy curds.
- Ingredient Symphony: Consolidate all components into a central culinary hub, maintaining intense heat to marry flavors and textures.
- Rice Integration: Introduce chilled rice across the griddle, spreading it to encourage crispy edges and complete flavor absorption.
- Flavor Finale: Drizzle soy sauce and sesame oil, thoroughly tossing the mixture to ensure every morsel is lavishly coated and piping hot.
- Plating Perfection: Transfer the vibrant medley to serving dishes, crowning the creation with a sprinkle of fresh green onions for a burst of color and zesty freshness.
Notes
- Manage Heat Precisely: Maintain consistent 375-400°F temperature for perfect caramelization and preventing ingredient burning.
- Prep Ingredients Beforehand: Use cold, day-old rice to achieve optimal crispy texture and prevent mushy consistency.
- Oil Distribution Matters: Ensure uniform oil coverage across griddle for even cooking and preventing ingredient sticking.
- Control Ingredient Sequence: Add proteins first, then vegetables, and lastly rice to develop layered flavor profiles and prevent overcrowding.
