TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST FRIED RICE:

 

Use cold rice:  Cold rice makes the best fried rice; the rice cooks perfectly and tends to not clump together.  It’s best to make the rice the night before but this recipe shows you how to make the rice the same day if you forget to prep ahead of time.

Prep all ingredients: This is a dish that cooks quickly so it’s best to have all the ingredients prepped before you start to cook. 

Use a large wide pot: A wok is the best pot to use for this recipe however if you don’t have a wok, then a wide cooking pan will do.  This help the rice to spread out and fry rather than steam as it’s being cooked.

Add sesame oil: Sesame oil gives fried rice an amazing flavor.  Just a few teaspoons goes a long way.  The toasty flavor adds bold flavor without being overpowering but be sure to use it sparingly.

Scramble eggs in same pan: No need to dirty another pot, simply move the vegetables to the side and scramble the eggs.
