Our Egg Fried Rice Recipe calls for day-old rice, a common practice in many Asian households. Why? Because refrigerated rice grains are firmer, giving your fried rice that desirable chewy texture. If you're curious about healthier fried rice recipes, using brown rice or quinoa instead of white rice is a great option to consider.

One of the key techniques in making perfect fried rice is stir-frying. This high-heat, quick-cooking method seals in the flavors and keeps the ingredients crisp. But what if you don't have a wok? Don't worry, a large skillet will do the job. If you're interested in learning more, check out our guide on how to make fried rice without a wok.
