Notes
- It is IMPERATIVE to use cold, cooked rice for this recipe.
- Speaking of rice, use medium to long-grain rice for the best results. Don't use short-grain, sweet/sushi rice, or glutinous rice for this recipe.
- Make sure your wok or pan is blazing hot.
- For even more flavor, consider adding grated ginger, sesame oil, oyster sauce, or Sriracha.
- If you have a Blackstone or similar outdoor griddle, consider making this recipe on that and flex your mad outdoor griddling skills! 😉
