Note

  • Use Cold Rice: It's best to use cold rice or at least rice that has been left in the refrigerator for a few hours. Cold rice will be easier to process and the result will be drier and less mushy.
  • Use high heat: When cooking fried rice, using high heat to get a smokey aroma is a good choice if you want a strong distinctive taste in fried rice but be careful not to burn it.
