Fried rice made on a Blackstone is a delicious and simple dish that can be made in under a few minutes with the help of pre-cooked rice.
I just recently got a Blackstone Griddle (22 inches) and I'm completely obsessed with it. The first meal I attempted to cook on the Blackstone was a Hibachi Style meal. It really beats going to a Hibachi restaurant and spending $20 to $30 for a meal when you can easily make it at home on a Blackstone. This recipe is seriously so good it gets made about every other week now. It's definitely one of those recipes that are on rotation.

Why this Recipe Works
Fried rice is really easy to make as well, with leftover day-old rice or just by using a Microwave 90 second rice packet. This is also an all Aldi recipe. I've used microwaved rice in many other recipes.
A complimentary sauce that goes well with Hibachi Food is always going to be Hibachi Yum Yum Sauce.
Some other recipes to try if you like Hibachi are Blackstone Lo Mein and Blackstone Beef Stir Fry. If you love cooking on your Blackstone like I do try How to Cook Bacon on a Blackstone.
Ingredients Needed
- Cooked rice - I used Jasmine rice or any type of white rice will do. Use leftover day old rice or get a 90 second packet of rice at Target or the grocery store. Try my recipe for Instant Pot Jasmine Rice
- Butter - I always use unsalted room temperature butter, or use a good organic extra virgin olive oil or vegetable oil.
- Frozen mixed vegetables- The great thing about using frozen mixed vegetables is that they don't take long to cook on a griddle at all.
- Eggs - I always use large eggs.
- Soy sauce - Use a Low Sodium or if you don’t have that on hand go for Tamari or Coconut Amino Acids
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Other ingredients. Shrimp, pork, cooked chicken breast, green onion, zucchini onion, garlic, frozen peas, or bell peppers. This dish is very versatle.

How to Make Blackstone Fried Rice
Step 1: Preheat the Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat.
Step 2: Melt the butter on the griddle, then add the cooked rice to the griddle and mix everything together.
Step 3: Add the frozen mixed vegetables. Cook for another 1-2 minutes. Drizzle the soy sauce over the rice and mix well. I usually like to do this to taste.
Step 4: Push the vegetables and rice to the side of the griddle and add another tablespoon of oil to the empty area. Crack the eggs onto the griddle and scramble them. Once cooked, mix them in with the vegetables and rice. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 5: Cook for another 3-4 minutes until everything is heated through and the rice is slightly crispy.
Serve hot and enjoy!
Store any leftover fried rice in an airtight container to reheat for the next day.

Variations for Fried Rice
- Blackstone Shrimp Fried Rice - Shrimp cooks quickly on a hot Blackstone griddle, making it perfect for fried rice. Start by cooking the shrimp in a little oil and garlic until pink and opaque, then push them to the side of the griddle.
- Blackstone Chicken Fried Rice - Chicken fried rice is one of the most popular hibachi-style meals you can make on a Blackstone.
- Blackstone Steak Fried Rice - For steak fried rice, thinly slice leftover steak or cook small cubes of steak directly on the griddle.
- Blackstone Vegetable Fried Rice - Vegetable fried rice is perfect if you want a meatless option. Add some mushrooms, carrots, broccoli, or green onions to the rice.
- Blackstone Pork Fried Rice - Diced pork or leftover pork chops work really well in fried rice.
The Ultimate Fried Rice Toolkit
To get that authentic hibachi experience, you need tools that can handle the "hustle" of a hot griddle.
- Blackstone Signature Series Spatula 2-Pack: You can't make proper fried rice with one spatula. You need two for that rapid tossing and folding motion. These have beveled edges which are perfect for scraping the crispy bits off the surface.
- Blackstone Signature 12" Basting Cover: Use this to quickly steam frozen peas and carrots right on the griddle before mixing them into the rice. It saves time and keeps the veggies vibrant and "snappy."
- Blackstone 32-oz Plastic Bottle Set: Keep one filled with water for "steam cleaning" and the other with your signature fry sauce. These allow for precise, mess-free distribution of flavor.
Recipe FAQS
Yes, it is recommended to preheat a griddle before using it. The preheating time may vary depending on the type of griddle and the desired cooking temperature, but a general rule of thumb is to preheat for about 5-10 minutes.
A Blackstone Griddle is a type of outdoor cooking equipment that features a flat cooking surface made of steel. It is designed to cook a variety of foods such as pancakes, eggs, bacon, burgers, and vegetables.
The first thing I made on my Blackstone was a complete Hibachi meal with fried rice, chicken, and vegetables. Some popular options include burgers, bacon, pancakes, and scrambled eggs. Make sure to properly season the griddle before cooking and use a high smoke point oil to prevent sticking.
Clean the griddle with soap and water and dry it thoroughly.
Apply a thin layer of oil (vegetable oil, flaxseed oil, or canola oil) all over the griddle surface.
Heat the griddle on high heat for about 15-20 minutes or until the oil starts to smoke.
Turn off the heat and let the griddle cool down completely.
Repeat steps 2-4 for a total of 2-3 times to create a non-stick layer on the griddle surface.
