Tips
- When cooking rice for fried rice, do not use it straight from the rice cooker to avoid mushiness.
- Flash chill the cooked rice in the freezer for about 15 minutes instead of refrigerating it for cooling.
- Cook vegetables until tender, not soft or mushy.
- Use dark soy sauce for a pretty dark color in the fried rice.
- Adjust salt to taste, remembering that chicken bouillon adds saltiness.
