Tips:

• For the best fried rice, use cold, cooked rice. This will help the rice to stay separate and not become mushy.
• If you don't have any leftover rice, you can cook some white rice according to the package directions. Once the rice is cooked, let it cool completely before using it in the fried rice.
• You can add any vegetables you like to your fried rice. Some other popular options include broccoli, mushrooms, bell peppers, and corn.
• If you want to make your fried rice more flavorful, you can add some other ingredients, such as chopped garlic, ginger, or scallions.
• For a vegetarian fried rice, simply omit the eggs.

Enjoy!
