Notes
Tips for Success: Do not use freshly made rice since it is too wet, and will get mushy after it is fried. Instead, use day-old rice or rice that is cold and refrigerated for the best taste and texture. Cook all ingredients in the same pan to save dishes and keep all of the delicious flavors. Substitutions and Variations: Protein: Fried rice is delicious with all different types of protein, not just tofu. You can substitute the tofu for chicken, pork, beef, shrimp, bacon, or even crab. Vegetables: Vegetables such as edamame, bell peppers, pineapple, onion, or garlic can be added if you like different vegetables. Feel free to add any leftover vegetables in your fridge that you feel would taste good in fried rice. Rice: You can use short-grain, long-grain, jasmine, brown, or white rice to make fried rice. Just make sure it is chilled for the best results.
