Notes
- Always rinse the rice before cooking โ Rinse the rice 2โ3 times to remove excess starch. This helps create fluffier rice with separated grains, which is perfect for fried rice recipes.
- Cook over medium-high heatย โ When stir-frying the rice, keep the heat on medium-high while continuously stirring. This helps the rice fry evenly and prevents it from becoming soggy while giving it that delicious wok-fried texture.
