Expert Tips

  • Type of Rice – It would be best to use day-old rice in this recipe. Using day-old, cooled rice helps prevent the fried rice from becoming mushy, as the grains are slightly drier and separate more easily.
  • Seasoning – The salt in the recipe is intended for seasoning just the eggs. Due to the saltiness of the soy sauce, additional salt for the rice mixture may not be necessary. Taste the rice mixture before adding any extra salt and adjust as needed.
  • Heat Blackstone – Make sure to prepare the Blackstone before adding the oil and cooking the fried rice ingredients.
