How to make Fried Rice
Step 1: Chill the cooked rice in the fridge until ready to use.

Stir until incorporated. Push everything to one side, then add the eggs to the skillet/wok. Scramble the egg, then mix everything.
Step 3: To the skillet/wok, gently stir in the cooked rice.
Step 4: Then, add the soy sauce and toss to coat. To taste, season with salt and pepper. If desired, add a dash or two of sesame oil.
Step 5: When done, serve the fried rice right away. Enjoy!
Notes:
Here are a few additions: if desired, you can add veggies to the fried rice such as mushrooms, chopped broccoli, and/or bell peppers.
For a complete meal, add your favourite protein like diced chicken, pork, steak, or shrimp.
Place the fried rice in an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze it for up to 1 month.
