Tips for Making Vegetable Fried Rice
- Leftover rice is always a better for making fried rice but you can use freshly cooked rice after cooling them by spreading on the plate. So that surface moisture is evaporated and grain stays separated.
- Preferably use a non-stick pan or wok that way it uses up less oil and egg or rice won’t stick to the bottom of the pan and states crunchy.
- Use medium high heat so that you get a great light brown edge in veggies and rice
