Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked white rice (preferably day-old)
  • 2 tablespoons oil (vegetable, canola, or sesame)

Notes

  • For best results, use day-old rice that has been refrigerated overnight. Freshly cooked rice can be too moist and sticky for fried rice.
  • You can use any vegetables you have on hand, such as bell peppers, mushrooms, or broccoli.
  • If you prefer a meaty fried rice, you can add diced chicken, shrimp, or pork to the recipe.
  • You can also add some chopped green onions or cilantro for extra flavor and color.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure to have all your ingredients prepped and ready before you start cooking.
  • Stir-fry the vegetables over high heat to get a nice sear and texture.
  • It's important to cook the eggs separately and then mix them in with the rice to avoid overcooking or undercooking them.
  • Use a wooden spoon or spatula to gently fold the rice and sauce together to avoid breaking the grains.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the seasoning to your taste.
