Quit Buying Takeout! (Fried Rice on the Blackstone) | Cook Dinner with Me

I looked for a link to our Blackstone, and I've found them to be significantly more expensive online than in person. I suggest shopping locally at hardware stores, Home Depot or Walmart for the best deal.

Miah: "I eat at the farmer's table every day. " Excellent response!!

And as he said it’s his table after all! 😂 They are both incredibly intelligent people who are going to be an enormous asset to their community. Love that she shares her “recipes” fast meals because a lot of people wouldn’t have the first idea how to make what she calls a simple meal is it’s intentional leftovers. 🥰❤️🙏🏻🇨🇦🍁

We’re a farm family and we have 7 kids and so many extras but I love it. I’m a tatted farm mama too so it’s nice to see another farm mom like me that isn’t a “badass” that’s sometimes stereotypical of women with sleeves so I appreciate finally seeing someone a little like me 💕 PS- have you ever tried smoking your soy sauce? It adds a hit of flavor that pairs perfectly with fried rice. Add a bit of my homemade kimchi and yum! Asian food is my weakness!

[@miephoex]

Having eating fried rice for the last 74 years and having cooked it for 55 years (just like mama made it), I was taught to serve it with cucumber slices on the side. Mama also served it with green beans w/spiced peanut butter sauce. All Indonesian style. Yummy 😋 Basic is always tastier.

[@bridgestew]

I've seen your comment about avoiding seed oils before and wasn't sure what that was about. I did a little research on my own and have decided to cut that out of my cooking. The one seed oil I was hesitant to lose is sesame seed oil because I love the flavor when making Asian dishes. This video eased my mind. Thanks, Jess! 😄

[@susanmassey9635]

This looks delicious . I make this when my granddaughter is around. Thank you.❤❤

[@elizabethlink3993]

💚Yep, in general, seed oils are not healthy at all..but sesame is not the worst, by far. Just can't replace that toasted sesame oil flavor..thankfully it only takes a small amount! 💚

[@jessicah2345]

Sesame oil is one of the only traditional seed oils that has been consumed for centuries and it's typically used in very small quantities

Just like you said recently - people can love your videos because of something you might not have anticipated, watched it twise, not for recepy but for a little coasy, lovely smelling bit of paradise😊, thank you! I am so incredibly happy for you and your family Jess!❤❤

[@jenmartin6347]

That "rice shovel" is a FANTASTIC idea!!! This is a go-to for us too, especially when travelling in the RV as well. I like to use leftover "cold" rice and it makes my part of throwing it all together for my hubs to cook on Blackstone that much easier. Love your channel.

[@yeevita]

The rice shovel was my favorite part! Well, also the no or few dishes.

[@tdleitch]

We do the same thing! One recommendation if anyone uses regular white rice, let it completely cool or use leftover rice. I grew up working in an Asian restaurant and the owners always made their rice the day before and turned it into fried rice the next day. It doesn’t happen so much with jasmine or basmati rice but regular white rice can get mushy when it’s stir fried while hot. We prefer the texture of long grain rices like jasmine when we make fried rice on the black stone. It’s also yummy with fresh pineapple stir fried in too!

[@The_Farmers_Table]

Great info’

[@John-iv2oz]

Fried rice is basically a "what am I going to do with all these left overs" dish?

[@carlynsykes6053]

Fried rice is also great at breakfast and for using up leftovers. It’s so easy to scale up or down all just based on how much rice you have or want to use.

[@aloras405]

Fried rice and miso soup are one of my favorite breakfasts.

[@shellyburris5918]

I don't watch YT with my hubby, but I can't wait to show him this one. He is the Blackstone guy at our home and he will love Miah's rice shovel ❤

[@junkinjodi]

Bought one of these for my husband he said it was the best gift he had ever received

[@aloras405]

Jess, I don't know if you know this but regular soy sauce has wheat in it so it is not gluten free. Tamari is a soy sauce that is not made with wheat and is a great alternative. The difference in taste is negligible but regular soy sauce has a little tiny bit of sweetness so you can add a little bit of sweetener like raw honey. Also, from what I understand, seed oils themselves aren't necessarily bad (GMO canola oil excepted). It depends on how the oil is extracted. The oils that are chemically extracted are what you really want to avoid. Toasted sesame seed oil has a better oil content so it can be cold pressed with a good, less inflammatory results. If you press your own seed oils, they are actually as good as oils like coconut and avocado. I plan on getting my own press because they make good presses for tinctures as well. I believe Lisa from Farmhouse on Boone/Simple Farmhouse Life podcast had a guest a couple months ago who talks about the topic.

[@John-iv2oz]

Jess, I make fried rice at home using only 1 cup raw rice that I have cooked before, and I have also done it at my church using a gallon of raw rice, also cooked, on their flat top. Everyone loves Asian style fried rice unless they are a space alien. LOL Any way, my technique is a bit different than yours, but it looks like we both end up at the same place. The only thing I do differently is how I use the garlic. I make a seasoned garlic oil with olive oil I buy by the gallon at Costco. I pour out about a cup of olive oil into another jar for other uses. Then I add freshly peeled whole cloves of garlic until I can't fit anymore into the gallon jug and then I let it sit untouched for about two months. I use this when I am making fried rice, so I don't have to worry about the garlic burning. I also part this out at Christmas time in 8 oz flip top bottle along with a 2 oz flip top bottle for all my cousins and my 2 remaining aunts. This is the second video of yours i have watched because I wanted to see someone else make fried rice on a flat top.

[@deniseheins2133]

I wish we could have take out more often, it's super rare. A few times per year. My hubby says the meals we cook at home are so much better than going out. And he quit fast food almost 5 years ago, so I send his lunch with him every day. Super easy, I just make extra for dinner. He is spoiled 😄

[@kathycannon4805]

I love the Miah-sized tools! The shovel is inspired.

[@misstrcarter]

Fried rice is even better when you have leftover rice. The rice is a little more dried out so the texture is more of what youwould get as carry out. In my household there is usually only enough leftover rice for one serving and it is perfect for lunch.

[@gelwood99]

Fried cabbage with onions cooked in bacon fat is for supper at least 3 times a week! Good stuff especially finished with a splash of vinegar at the last minute in the pan! Yummy!

[@JustineMcGuire]

That is exactly how we make ours! The only thing we do differently, which I have no idea if there is any truth to this, is we cook our rice before and let it get cold in the refrigerator before putting it on the stove. Either way it's delicious!! Thanks for sharing this!! ❤

[@CarolynOfria-hn3ty]

Yum!!!! I love fried rice. Husband can't have rice, so I now use riced cauliflower.

[@wjm1319]

Yummy. I love making fried rice. One trick to take it to 'next level' like takeout - add the tiniest bit of sugar to it. Like maybe 1-2 pinches (literal pinches, don't even use a spoon) for that whole batch of rice. Obviously, you don't want it sweet, but the tiny bit of sugar seems to enhance the salty/umami flavors and just brings it all together somehow. I also make 'GG Paste' (garlic-ginger paste) and keep it in a tiny, lidded ice cube tray in my freezer (Williams-Sonoma has some nice ones of a perfect 'one clove of garlic' size ). Then I can just pop out some 'fresh' ground garlic & ginger for things like this as needed. You can also make cubes of just garlic and/or just ginger. Or of basil. Or...whatever else you want.

[@RealBradMiller]

Why do all ice cube trays not have lids?!? Took me months to find a silicone bottomed lidded tray. 😂

[@wjm1319]

You are missing one ingredient for your fried rice, white pepper!! It’s a staple in Asian cooking. We also use Coconut Aminos (low sodium) in replacement of soy sauce. Now to convert Jess over to the Zojirushi rice cooker(when the other one dies), total game changer lol. We do a ton of Asian cooking in our house and I still cheat and buy a few things pre made because of time constraints. Great content Jess!!

[@The_Farmers_Table]

Oh that's totally on my wish list but my dang cheapo Aroma rice cooker just keeping on kicking so I haven't been able to justify the new one. My friend Matthew has a Zojirushi and its awesome

[@CHICHISWEETS]

I love that griddle. I’m looking into getting the smaller electric one. It’s just 2 of us here. HOISIN sauce is what I use on my fried rice. 🍚 Also, a little 5 spice.

[@sandyoklahomatransient8557]

Sweet Jess, Love homemade fried rice. When I use fresh cooked rice it gets mushy. I have to cook it the day before, or earlier in the mornimg then refrigerate until the evening I make the fried rice. We love all kinds of Asian Food. One of our all time go to, and favorite is Egg Roll in a Bowl by The Dashley's Kitchen.

[@colleen4574]

wow, never seen a blackstone grill, too cool. One idea I have for you, as I know you like mushrooms, add and hydrate shiitake mushrooms. I find it easier to have really cold rice also, and mix the Tamari with a little oyster sauce. It does not taste like oysters, don't know why it's called that but it's great. I also sprinkle scallions on top. Make it all the time.

[@jadedarkrose]

I make fried rice similarly to this as well. I like to use carrots, peppers, celery, mushrooms, onions, and garlic. I don't like peas. Never have. My son and husband love them, so I grow lots of them. They prefer them raw straight out of the garden, so I normally don't even have any for cooking even if I wanted them. 😂 I have not put meat in my fried rice. The egg is usually enough, though I think I will likely try adding some in. We usually have potstickers or teriyaki chicken when I make fried rice. I'll be happy to change it up. Thanks for sharing, Jess!

Thank you for commenting about the sesame seed oil. I've been aware of the seed oil issue but feel the same way regarding flavor & Asian dishes.

[@aloras405]

It's the chemically extracted seed oils, the oils with preservatives, and the GMO oils that you want to avoid. Cold pressed are ok. Sesame seeds have a high oil content so the oil is easily extracted. That's why it has a better reputation.
