FAQs:

  • Can I use leftover rice for this recipe?
  • Yes, using leftover rice works best for fried rice as it is drier and less sticky than freshly cooked rice.

  • Can I customize this recipe with other vegetables?
  • Absolutely! Feel free to use any vegetables you prefer, such as bell peppers, broccoli, or mushrooms.

  • Is it necessary to use both soy sauce and sesame oil?
  • While both soy sauce and sesame oil add great flavor to the dish, you can omit one or the other if needed. Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
