Recipe Tips

To prevent the rice from clumping together, use a fork to fluff the rice before adding it to the skillet. Make sure the skillet or wok is hot before adding the vegetables and eggs. This will help prevent them from sticking to the pan. If you are using fresh vegetables instead of frozen, be sure to cook them for a few minutes longer to ensure that they are cooked through. For an extra burst of flavor, add a tablespoon of oyster sauce or hoisin sauce to the skillet along with the soy sauce.
