Christina's Notes
- Double this Recipe: Double this recipe by increasing the ingredients proportionately.
- Short Cut Tip: Pick up cooked rice from your local Chinese restaurant.
- Different Flavors: Try adding different ingredients like white pepper or rice wine for different flavors.
- Variation Tip: Use sesame oil for an authentic Chinese food, fried rice flavor.
- Adding Rice: Cold rice may clump together. Break up the rice by stirring around the rice before adding it in.
- Alternate Cooking Method: An electric or stovetop wok is a great way to reheat leftover rice.
- Vegetarian: Replace the meat with tofu!
