The secrets to fried rice
There is an untold secret to making excellent fried rice.
Use leftover rice

Instead of using fresh rice, leftover rice works much better. If you want the ideal fried rice texture, fluffy, steamed rice simply won't cut it.
Store it in freezer
The most important thing is to keep moisture out of the dish. Rice that has been frozen overnight is the best because it won't go mushy when stir-fried.
Leftover rice's dryness helps create the perfect texture for fried rice. Using freshly steamed rice will result in a texture that is mushy and squishy, which is not the texture that is usually desired when cooking fried rice. Although rice cooked two to three days ago is preferable, you can use day-old rice.
Add vegetables and all manner of condiments

There isn't a better way to finish off leftover rice, vegetables, and small portions of meat than to cook them all in a pot with some soy sauce to make fried rice. Fried rice may be made even more delicious by adding unexpected ingredients like herbs, nuts, seeds, or even cheese.
