Hibachi Scallops and Bacon Fried Rice
When my daughter was coming home from college for spring break she was greeted with a giant hug along with this griddle recipe for Hibachi Scallops and Bacon Fried Rice.
I show you that I love you through food, my family and friends know this (and probably love this) about me.
This meal was all cooked on my Blackstone griddle, but could be easily adapted to cook in a large skillet or wok.
Just not all at once.
I prepped everything in the kitchen, set it all on a tray and headed out to my Blackstone flat top grill.
This is 4 cups of cooked, cooled jasmine rice.
It’s more likely to get that crisp texture if it’s cooled.
The sauce is soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and lemon juice.
Whisk that together and add a few Tbsps to a pound of scallops to marinate.
How to make Hibachi Scallops and Bacon Fried Rice
First make sure the Blackstone is preheated for about 5 minutes to medium high heat.
A little oil goes down first and then a diced onion, the rice, and 2 eggs.
Mix this around with hibachi spatulas for a few minutes.

Next lay 6 strips of bacon on the griddle.
Also add the remaining soy sauce mixture and some butter to the rice.
Just keep flipping the rice and check the bacon for when it’s ready to flip.
You know how Dory just keeps swimming?!
Well you are are just going to keep on flipping…both the rice and the bacon.
Once the bacon looks done remove it so it can cool.
While the bacon cools add the scallops where the bacon was so they can cook in the bacon grease.
These will cook very quickly, only about a minute per side.
I mean, just take a moment to admire the sear that the Blackstone creates on these gorgeous scallops!
Crumble the bacon into the fried rice and we are ready to eat!
Before starting this meal I made a homemade yum yum sauce.
Simply whisk together mayo, ketchup, sugar, pakrika, and garlic powder.
Serve Hibachi Scallops and Bacon Fried Rice with the yum yum sauce and enjoy 🙂
