Tips:

  • Mise en place: Prepare all your ingredients and utensils before starting to cook. This will help ensure that you have everything you need and that the cooking process goes smoothly.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your fried rice will be. Look for fresh vegetables, fragrant herbs, and high-quality rice.
  • Cook the rice ahead of time: This will give the rice time to cool and firm up, which will result in better-textured fried rice.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will give you plenty of room to stir-fry the rice and vegetables.
  • Heat the skillet or wok over high heat: This will help create a nice sear on the rice and vegetables.
  • Stir-fry the vegetables until they are crisp-tender: You don't want them to be mushy, but you also don't want them to be raw.
  • Add the rice and stir-fry until it is heated through: You want the rice to be slightly browned and flavorful.
  • Season the rice to taste: Use soy sauce, salt, and pepper to taste.
  • Serve immediately: Fried rice is best when served hot and fresh.
