Notes
- Note 1: if you plan to make fried rice the next day, you can slightly reduce the water when steaming the rice. So the grains are harder and better for fried rice. Soft rice is not a good option.
- Note 2: You can use both a wok and a skillet for this recipe. If you do not have an old wok, a nonstick skillet is a better tool for a new wok.
