Notes
- Note 1: (eggs) You can add more eggs you want. I think that 6 eggs will still be ok with the ratio of the rice. Note that you can beat the eggs before cooking if desired.
- Note 2: While leftover rice is best when making fried rice, you will also need to consider the variety of rice to use. Avoid sticky varieties.
- Note 3: Sugar is optional, but add it anyway :)
