Tips

  • You can't really make this with freshly cooked rice, I mean you can if you want, but it wont feel right
  • The key to good fried rice is heat, you want a super hot wok
  • Try to caramelise the soy sauce a little
  • Tip the pan and scramble the egg to one side to avoid a soggy mess
  • If you want this to taste like it does from a takeaway, then add a punch of MSG. It isn't bad for you. Don't be racist.
