Tips:
- Use day-old rice. This will help the rice fry up nice and crispy, and it will also prevent it from sticking together.
- Rinse the rice under cold water before cooking. This will help remove any excess starch, which can also help prevent the rice from sticking together.
- Use a large skillet or wok. This will give the rice plenty of room to spread out and cook evenly.
- Heat the oil over medium-high heat. This will help the rice get crispy without burning.
- Add the rice to the skillet or wok and spread it out in an even layer. Do not stir the rice for the first few minutes, as this will prevent it from getting crispy.
- Once the rice is starting to brown on the bottom, use a spatula to stir it gently. Continue to stir the rice until it is evenly browned and crispy all over.
- Add the eggs to the skillet or wok and cook them until they are scrambled.
- Add the vegetables and cook them until they are tender-crisp.
