Tips

  • Day-old rice tends to clump together after storing, so break the clumps before using.
  • Freshly cooked rice works well in fried rice! Spread it out and let it cool completely under the fan before use.
  • Prep ingredients beforehand as frying rice is a quick process that requires constant stirring.
  • Use a large pan or wok to ensure even cooking.
  • Taste and season your fried rice before serving, adding some salt if needed. It is not recommended to add more soy sauce as excess moisture will lead to mushy fried rice.
