Tips & Notes

  1. Always use overnight cooked rice.
  2. Alternatively you can use canned/ frozen/ fresh or any kind of vegetable of your choice.
  3. Fresh garlic can be replaced with garlic powder if fresh one is not available. Of course you can omit garlic if you dislike garlic.
  4. I prefer to add fresh garlic in the middle of the cooking process instead of at the beginning. I find it tastes better when it comes to fried rice. You are welcome to try either option to see what is best for you.
  5. I used only 3 tablespoons of oil for this recipe. I prefer less oily fried rice. Feel free to adjust to your preferences.
  6. In this recipe, I used Pink Himalayan salt.
