Skip the Restaurant—This 20-Minute Blackstone Hibachi Is Faster and Tastier

Hibachi is one of our favorite things to make on an outdoor griddle. The high heat allows you to caramelize proteins and vegetables quickly and evenly. Here, we're using frozen shortcuts, like premade fried rice, to get a takeout-inspired dinner on the table in under 30 minutes. Get the recipe, and read on for our Test Kitchen's best tips for customizing this easy dinner idea.

Tips for Making Hibachi on a Blackstone

Keep these helpful tips in mind when you try this griddle recipe at home.

• If you can't find frozen fried rice, you can make your own ahead and use it instead.
  
• If you're camping or want to avoid handling raw chicken, this recipe is also delicious with cooked chopped chicken. Simply add it when you add the rice. 
• Our recipe tasters loved the acidity a squeeze of lemon added. This recipe is also delicious with a drizzle of soy sauce, Sriracha, or hoisin. For texture, try sprinkling on chopped cashews or peanuts.
• This Blackstone recipe is a complete meal all on its own, but we like to serve it alongside steamed edamame or a carrot ribbon salad.
