For best results, use cold, day-old cooked rice. This prevents the fried rice from becoming mushy. Adjust the amount of soy sauce to your preference. Start with less and add more to taste. Feel free to add other vegetables such as peas, carrots, or bean sprouts for extra flavor and nutrition. If you don't have cooked chicken on hand, you can quickly sauté some chicken breast in the skillet before adding the other ingredients. High heat is crucial for achieving that signature wok-hei (smoky flavor) in fried rice. Make sure your skillet or wok is hot before adding the ingredients.
