Notes

For best results, use leftover cooked rice that has been chilled in the fridge overnight. This will ensure that the rice is dry and fluffy, making it easier to stir-fry without becoming mushy. You can also substitute any vegetables or proteins you like in this recipe. Try adding mushrooms, bell peppers, or even tofu for a vegetarian option.
