Recipe Tips

  • Cook the rice in advance and chill it in the refrigerator for a few hours before making the fried rice. This will help the rice to stay firm and not to stick together while frying.
  • Use a high smoke point oil like vegetable oil or peanut oil for frying.
  • Make sure to stir-fry the ingredients quickly over high heat to avoid overcooking and mushy rice.
  • For a vegetarian version, skip the chicken or shrimp and use vegetable broth instead of fish sauce.
