Notes

  • Day-old rice works best because it keeps the grains separate during stir-frying.
  • Cook on medium-high heat to achieve the best fried rice texture.
  • You can customize this recipe by adding chicken, pork, tofu, or extra vegetables.
  • For extra flavor, drizzle a little sesame oil just before serving.
