Note
For best results, use day-old cooked rice as it has less moisture and won't get mushy when stir-fried.
If you prefer a bit of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or fresh chili slices during the stir-frying process.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a microwave or pan until piping hot.
