Tips:

  • Use day-old rice: This will help prevent the rice from becoming mushy.
  • Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking: This will remove any excess starch and help the rice grains cook evenly.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will give the rice plenty of room to cook and prevent it from sticking together.
  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat before adding the rice: This will help the rice grains toast slightly and give them a nice flavor.
  • Stir the rice frequently while cooking: This will help prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan and burning.
  • Add the eggs towards the end of cooking: This will help prevent them from overcooking and becoming rubbery.
  • Season the rice to taste with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings.
  • Serve the rice immediately or let it cool slightly before serving.
