Best Rice For Fried Rice
Use leftovers or day old cooked rice for this recipe for better result.
If you don't have any, simply cook some rice and leave it cool completely uncovered.
I would recommend using jasmine rice or short grain rice.

Veggies
Use whatever veggies you have, just don't use the ones that release so much water like mushroom and zucchini. We don't want the fried rice to get soggy.
