For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of butter or ghee to the wok along with the vegetable oil. Day-old rice is crucial for achieving the right texture. Freshly cooked rice will be too sticky and can result in a mushy fried rice. Feel free to add protein like diced cooked chicken, pork, or shrimp to make it a complete meal. A fried egg on top is a classic addition that adds richness and flavor. If you don't have mixed bell peppers, feel free to use just one color or substitute with other vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms.
