Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bacon Strips (chopped after cooking)
• 3 cups Day‑Old Cooked Rice (cold, preferably refrigerated overnight)
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (divided; 1 tbsp for rice, 1 tbsp for vegetables, 1 tbsp for final toss)
• 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper (freshly ground, to taste)
• 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce (low‑sodium preferred)
• 2 tablespoons Avocado Oil (high smoke point; 1 tbsp for veg, 1 tsp for egg well)
• 1 cup Frozen Mixed Vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, etc.)
• 1 piece Garlic Clove (minced)
• 1 pound Chicken Breast (cut into thin strips)
• 2 large Eggs (beaten)

Instructions

1. Cook Bacon

   Heat the Blackstone griddle over medium‑high heat (about 375°F). Lay the bacon strips in a single layer and cook until crisp, 4–5 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 375°F

2. Add Butter and Season Rice

   Push the cooked bacon to one side. Add 1 tbsp butter to the center of the griddle, let melt, then sprinkle the day‑old rice onto the butter. Season with black pepper and 1 tsp soy sauce, stirring to coat evenly.

   Time: PT3M

   Temperature: 375°F

3. Sauté Vegetables

   Drizzle 1 tbsp avocado oil around the rice. Add the frozen mixed vegetables, season with salt and pepper, and toss in the minced garlic. Stir‑fry until the vegetables are heated through and lightly caramelized, about 4 minutes. Add another 1 tbsp butter for richness.

   Time: PT4M

   Temperature: 375°F

4. Cook Chicken Strips

   Push the veg to one side and spread the chicken strips thinly over the hot surface. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is no longer pink, about 5 minutes.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 375°F

5. Scramble Eggs

   Create a small well in the center of the griddle, add a splash of avocado oil, then crack the two beaten eggs into the well. Scramble quickly until just set, then fold the eggs into the rice mixture.

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: 375°F

6. Add Teriyaki and Sesame Oil

   Flip the chicken pieces, drizzle 2 tbsp teriyaki sauce over the entire pan, then add 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil. Toss everything together for 2 minutes until evenly coated and heated through.

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: 375°F

7. Plate and Serve

   Transfer the fried rice to serving plates, garnish with extra black pepper or chopped green onions if desired, and serve immediately while hot.
