New Griddle Ideas?

I grill fish and veggies on mine all the time. Halibut, tuna steaks, etc. Also, Have you tried smash burgers yet?

Birria tacos. Or even just making the cheese crust on the outside of any tacos.

Alice Springs chicken
Pancit
Tortellini
Sausage,potatoes,and green beans

So for the fried rice, the key is to make the rice and then refrigerate it. It's better if its been in the fridge for 24 hours. I like to throw the chopped onions on the griddle first with a little olive oil, let that cook down some, then the garlic (and shallots if you're feeling up to it) for a minute or so. Then throw that cold rice on there and squirt your soy sauce in it, some salt and pepper, and mix everything up. Last step - add one or two eggs in there and mix everything up well. Add a little more soy sauce if needed and then it's ready to go. Add some fresh green onions to the top and maybe a few sesame seeds and you're ready to eat

I've done lo mein on the griddle before. Turned out great.

I know smash burgers have been mentioned but, try Oklahoma Onion Burgers (Google is our friend). A variation from OK during the Depression IIRC. Short version ball of 80/20 thrown down and smashed on screaming griddle. Season exposed side, top with lots of thinly sliced onions, flip, season cooked side top with cheese slice and pickles. Mustard on bun and away you go. They really are very good. Not going to give up charcoal grilled but a great variation with a little bit of history. Do yourself a favor and make as recipe is written ( horrors- processed cheese) because it works here.

If you've never tried it find some sweet soy. I have used ABC Sweet Soy and it was a game changer.

That is mostly how I do them and did not know it was called that. Only thing different is the more thinly cut onions. will give that a shot.

My fav thing lately todo on the flattop is tik tok foldable quesadilla. Done them for breakfast and lunch.

I use butter not oil to crisp them up.

I’ve never tried it, so I can’t take credit for it, but a guy on another board I read was talking about “jambalaya fried rice” on a griddle over the weekend. I guess you kinda just fry it into a patty like you would with boudin.
