How to Cook Fried Rice

Are you ready to learn how to make tasty fried rice at home? It’s easy and fun! Just follow these steps, and you’ll have a delicious meal in no time.

Step 1: Choose Your Protein

First, pick your favorite protein. You can use chicken, shrimp, or tofu. Heat a pan with some oil and cook your protein until it’s done. Once it’s cooked, take it out of the pan and set it aside for later.

Step 2: Prepare the Rice

For the best fried rice, use rice that was cooked the day before. This rice is a bit drier, which makes it perfect for frying. Put the rice in the same pan you used for the protein. This way, it will soak up all the yummy flavors left in the pan.

Step 3: Add Vegetables and Eggs

Now, it’s time to add some vegetables. You can use peas, carrots, or any veggies you like. Crack a couple of eggs into the pan and scramble them with the rice and vegetables. This will add extra flavor and texture to your fried rice.

Step 4: Mix in the Protein

Remember the protein you cooked earlier? Add it back into the pan with the rice and veggies. Stir everything together so that all the ingredients are mixed well.

Step 5: Season Your Fried Rice

To make your fried rice super tasty, add some soy sauce and oyster sauce. You can also add other seasonings you like, such as garlic powder or pepper. Stir everything together until it’s hot and well combined.
