The Star of the Show: Rice
Now comes the star ingredient: rice. Ideally, you should use day-old rice, which is drier and fries up nicely without getting mushy. Fold the rice into the mix with a dash of sesame oil and generous amounts of soy sauce to infuse deep umami flavor into your dish.
For a rich finish, add in butter, which will further enhance the overall taste and texture of your fried rice. Finally, bring everything together, ensuring that all components are well-distributed and cooked perfectly to form a cohesive meal.
