Notes

Tips & Tricks

- Let the fried rice rest in between the stirs (in a non-stick skillet) to let it brown on the bottom. This makes the rice nice and crispy.

- Remember to use good quality rice for this recipe. Aged rice is best, because it is nice and fluffy.

- Avoid overcooking the rice. You’ll want to use rice that is almost cooked, but not too soft and mushy.

- Rinse the rice thoroughly and remove all the starch before you cook it. This will get it nice and fluffy, just the way you want.

- To add that authentic Asian flavor to the dish, drizzle a bit of sesame oil over the rice while you’re tossing it around in the skillet.

- To spice up the fried rice, add a dash of your favorite hot sauce into it along with the soy sauce and give it all a good toss.
