A day-old cold jasmine rice is my absolute favorite to make fried rice. It has a beautiful aroma and fluffy texture that can hold the shape well while frying.

Break down rice and mix it with the eggs.

Add soy sauce around the edge of the wok, so it will burn slightly for the smoky umami flavor. Add salt to your taste and mix everything well. Reduce heat to low if you need to.
