Author's Notes

Use cold day-old rice! It keeps its shape and gives a better textured fried rice. (Fresh rice used in fried rice gives a gluey result)

Add the salt into the meat and not the rice, the grease from the meats spreads out the salt more evenly. Salt added to the rice tends to clump into one area.

Toast your spices for a more robust and nutty flavor but be mindful of how long you do it for, it burns quickly!
