Homemade Fried Rice
No need to order out tonight! Just learn how to make fried rice in your very own home with this easy homemade fried rice recipe!
The key to any good fried rice is that you use "old" rice. That is, rice that has been cooked prior to the frying process. Minimally, I would recommend the rice be cooked 24 hours prior to frying, but it can be several days old too! Hello, leftovers idea! (I think this goes without saying, but I'm going to throw it out there anyway... Please, don't use rotten "old" rice!)
I love to serve this Homemade Fried Rice with my Easy Chicken Teriyaki on top! It's so yummy, and the kids love it too. There's never any leftovers! Take-out right at home!
