Best Rice For Fried Rice

  • Use leftovers or day old cooked rice for this recipe for better result.
  • If you don't have any, simply cook some rice and leave it cool completely uncovered.
  • I would recommend using jasmine rice or short grain rice. 
  • Refer to my post above for more tips and details.

Veggies

  • Use whatever veggies you have, just don't use the ones that release so much water like mushroom and zucchini. We don't want the fried rice to get soggy.
