Ingredients:

• 2 cups of cooked rice (preferably day-old rice for better texture)
• 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, and corn)
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup cooked, chopped protein (chicken, shrimp, or tofu)
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment:

• Arteflame grill
• Cooking spatula

Instructions

1. Prepare the Grill:

   • Heat your Arteflame grill, ensuring the griddle is hot. A good indication of readiness is when a few drops of water flicked onto the griddle evaporate on contact.

2. Sauté Onions and Garlic:

   • Add vegetable oil to the griddle. Sauté the onions and garlic until they are soft and translucent.

3. Cook the Protein:

   • Move the onions and garlic to one side of the griddle. Add your choice of protein to the other side and cook until just done. Mix together with the onions.

4. Scramble the Eggs:

   • Push the mixture to the side and pour the beaten eggs onto the griddle. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked and then integrate them with the rest of the ingredients on the griddle.

5. Add Rice and Vegetables:

   • Add the cooked rice, mixed vegetables, and green onions to the griddle. Stir everything together, spreading the mixture evenly over the surface to allow the rice to get a good sear.

6. Season the Dish:

   • Drizzle soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Stir thoroughly to ensure the rice is evenly seasoned and well-coated with the sauces.

7. Serve:

   • Once everything is heated through and the rice has achieved a slightly crispy texture, remove from the grill. Serve hot, garnished with additional green onions or sesame seeds if desired.

Tips

• Use day-old rice for the best texture and to avoid mushy fried rice.
• Pre-chop ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process.
• Cook on a high heat setting to achieve a smoky, charred flavor.

Variations

• Try adding pineapple chunks for a sweet and savory combination.
• Use cauliflower rice for a lower-carb alternative.
• Experiment with different proteins like beef or pork.

Best pairings

• Pair with a side of miso soup for a complete meal.
• Serve with an Asian-style salad for freshness.
• Complement with a crisp white wine or a light beer.
