Note
For best results, use day-old cooked rice as it tends to be drier and less likely to stick together in the pan. If using freshly cooked rice, spread it out on a tray to cool and dry slightly before stir-frying.
You can add other vegetables like peas, carrots, or corn to enhance the dish's nutritional value and flavor profile.
This dish is vegan as it does not contain any animal products. However, if you prefer a richer flavor, you can stir in a tablespoon of butter at the end of cooking.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of water to restore moisture.
