Recipe Tips

  • Make sure the rice is completely cooled before stir-frying it, or it will become mushy.
  • Use day-old rice if possible, as it will be drier and easier to stir-fry.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the seasoning to your taste. If you like your fried rice saltier, add more soy sauce. If you prefer it sweeter, add more sugar.
  • For an extra flavor boost, you can add some chopped garlic and ginger to the vegetables.
