⭐ Tips for Best Results
-
Use day-old rice for better texture. Fresh rice can become mushy.
-
Don’t overcook shrimp — they should be just pink and tender.
-
Adjust soy sauce gradually to avoid over-salting.
-
Stir-fry quickly over high heat to maintain the texture of rice and veggies.
🔄 Variations
-
Spicy: Add sriracha, chili flakes, or a dash of hot sauce.
-
Extra Veggies: Bell peppers, snap peas, or baby corn work well.
-
Seafood Mix: Include scallops or crab for a seafood fried rice.
-
Low-Carb: Substitute rice with cauliflower rice.
🧊 Storage & Reheating
-
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Reheat gently in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of soy sauce or water if rice feels dry.
