Tips for making fried rice

You must pay attention to a few details when frying rice for it to be both fluffy and delicious;

Use leftover rice that has not been overcooked. Make sure to keep the rice dry and avoid overcooking it if you intend to fry it the next day. The ideal rice to use is refrigerated day-old rice as mushy rice won’t work well with this recipe.

Maintain medium-high heat and stir-fry quickly to obtain perfectly seared stir-fries.

Create a balanced sauce. Oyster sauce is used in this recipe to add flavor, light and dark soy sauces are added for color and saltiness, and a little black pepper is added for a touch of spice.

Pork: Instead of using bite-sized pork pieces, you can substitute ground pork, ham, or bacon. Alternatively, you might use turkey, chicken, or minced beef in place of the pork.

Vegetables: To keep it simple, this recipe calls for the addition of carrots, frozen peas, and sweet corn. Other vegetables that you can use are bell pepper, sweet corn, celery, courgette, broccoli, green beans, and mushrooms.

Aromatics: Pork is cooked with onions, ginger, and garlic, and spring or green onions are used as a garnish.

Oil: Use an oil with a high smoke point that has no flavor.

Seasoning: White pepper, light and dark soy sauce, and oyster sauce combine to create a delicious but light sauce. If salt was required, add it.

Sesame oil, chile oil, chili garlic sauce, black bean sauce, and other optional dipping sauces.

Vegetarian: Replace the pork with tofu and replace the oyster sauce with vegetarian stir-fry sauce or vegetarian stir-fry sauce with mushrooms to make it vegetarian.

Gluten-free: Use tamari in place of the soy sauce and pick a gluten-free oyster sauce to make it gluten-free.
