THE RICE
As you might have learned from other Chinese Cooks, it is better to use one-day old rice to make the perfect fried rice dishes. However, if you donโt have leftover rice, itโs perfectly fine to cook the rice during the day and let it cool down before cooking. This is what I normally do. I use Jasmine Rice.
