Notes
Recipe Tips
Substitutions and Additions
- Top with Green Onions – I love topping the chicken fried rice with sliced green onions before serving.
- Work Fast – The Blackstone grill is hotter than a traditional skillet, so work fast to avoid the griddle from burning.
- Pre Cooked Rice is Best – This fried rice recipe is best to made with cold rice. I usually use leftover rice and it’s makes the best fried rice.
- Ground Chicken - While cooking the ground chicken, make sure to break up into smaller pieces.
- Change the Rice – You can use brown rice, cauliflower rice or jasmine rice instead.
- Use Different Vegetables – You can add in mushrooms, snow peas, broccoli, bell peppers and water chestnuts. Fresh vegetables are also a good addition if you do not want to use frozen.
- Add in Nuts – Add in chopped peanuts or cashews for some crunch. We also like adding in toasted sesame seeds.
- Seasoning - Feel free to use other seasoning. If you have fish sauce, this would be a good addition to this recipe. Fresh ginger or garlic cloves is also a good option to add in.
- Remove the chicken – You can also eat this fried rice without any chicken. It will taste amazing.
- Soy Sauce Substitution – You can substitute soy sauce for coconut aminos.
- Change the Chicken - Use leftover cooked shredded chicken breast, shrimp, or pork. We use this recipe with any of our leftover meats.
- Oil - Cook the fried rice with high smoke point oil such as vegetable oil and canola oil.
