Pro Tips

Pre-cook the rice – Before you begin the rice should be cooked and cooled down. I usually use cold rice because it fries up perfectly and doesn’t get soggy. You can even use pre-packaged rice to save time.
The heat needs to be high – To get the chicken, veggies, and rice sizzling properly you must use high heat. Once each ingredient is cooked, you can move it to a cooled side of the blackstone griddle. We usually keep one side on low heat for cooked food to stay warm.
Add sauce to taste – I don’t measure the sauce, and simply add as I go. You don’t want the flavors to be overwhelming or boring, so taste test as you cook.

FAQs

Do you have to add chicken to fried rice?

Nope, you can omit the chicken if you want. Fried rice is delicious whether you have chicken in it or not. If you are serving it as a main dish it’s a little more filling with chicken, but it’s certainly not required.

How do you store fried rice?

After the Blackstone fried rice has cooled down, you can store it in a food storage container. Glass containers work well, especially for meal prepping.

Chicken fried rice will last in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Heat in the microwave until the rice is all the way hot then serve.

You can also reheat fried rice with chicken in a skillet using a little bit of hot oil. Stir frequently until hot.

Can I cook fried rice on the stovetop?

Yes, you can cook fried rice on the stovetop. For best results, use a wok. If you don’t have on hand, no problem a non-stick skillet will work also.

Begin by cooking the chicken, then set aside. Add in the veggies and cook until done. Set aside and follow up by cooking the rice. Once everything has been cooked, mix all ingredients together. Serve and enjoy!

What do hibachi chefs use to cook rice?

Most often, Japanese hibachi restaurants use a blend of oil(s) and rice cooking wine with soy sauce. However, canola oil, cottonseed oil, and peanut oil are commonly used.

What kind of rice is used at hibachi restaurants?

Hibachi rice is typically made with Calrose rice whereas Chinese fried rice is made with long grain rice. But the main difference between fried rice and hibachi rice is that hibachi fried rice is made on a griddle or a hot plate.

Can you cook rice on a griddle?

Yes!! For years, I have made fried rice in a pan on the stove. The large flat top griddle cooking surface makes cooking fried rice a breeze so that I can make the rice and my main meat dish at the same time. Clean-up is super easy and done in just a couple of minutes.

How do you make hibachi rice not mushy?

Use cold, leftover cooked rice. Left in the fridge overnight, the rice grains will firm up, making it easier to separate and decreasing the chances of your fried rice turning out mushy. If you can't wait, air freshly cooked rice to remove moisture and refrigerate the rice for a few hours before cooking.

Do you rinse rice for hibachi?

Just remember to rinse the rice a few times before cooking to remove the starch so the rice isn't gummy. Stir-frying – I use a wok for cooking fried rice or noodles because of the efficiency of having more room to work with.
