Fried rice is a flavorful dish made by stir-frying chilled rice with vegetables, proteins, and seasonings like soy sauce and vinegar. Cooked over high heat, it achieves a smoky, restaurant-style taste. Eggs, chicken, or tofu can be added for extra protein. Cold rice is key to achieving the right texture, preventing clumping. Garnish with spring onions and enjoy as a satisfying, one-pot meal.
