Notes
- Always use leftover rice that's been cooked a few hours in advance to make fried rice. If possible even refrigerate the rice for at least 2 hours before making fried rice with them. Never make fried rice with freshly cooked rice otherwise it will turn mushy.
- Medium grain rice like jasmine rice is the best choice for fried rice recipes.
- Use a large wok or pan to make fried rice so that the ingredients can be stirred easily.
- I prefer using a lot of vegetables in my fried rice, so I use rice and vegetables in almost equal quantities. You can add less vegetables if you want.
- Feel free to use vegetables of your choice. Some other vegetables that taste good in fried rice are green beans, green peas, broccoli, green cabbage, bell pepper, mushrooms, etc.
- You can make this rice with just edamame too and skip the vegetables.
- To make spicy edamame rice, add a few teaspoons of chili oil or any hot sauce of choice.
