Why this recipe works

Fried rice with egg, vegetables and cold rice

The most important step is before cooking: rice should be cooked, cooled and dry. Fresh warm rice contains too much moisture and quickly becomes sticky. Eggs, vegetables and sauce are prepared separately so that everything in the wok is quick.
