For best results, use day-old cooked rice. This will prevent the fried rice from becoming mushy. Adjust the amount of soy sauce to your preference. Taste as you go and add more if desired. Feel free to add other vegetables, such as mushrooms, bean sprouts, or water chestnuts. If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of chili oil. Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for added flavor and visual appeal.
