Important Notes

⚠️

Using cold, dry, day-old rice is essential for good fried rice. It prevents the grains from sticking together and becoming mushy.

⚠️

Cooking ingredients in batches (especially the egg) is a great technique for home kitchens, as it helps keep the pan hot enough for a proper stir-fry.

⚠️

Pouring the soy sauce around the hot edge of the wok allows it to sizzle and caramelize, which adds a deeper, smokier flavour known as 'wok hei'.

⚠️

The chef recommends using white pepper for a more authentic flavour profile compared to black pepper.
