I like to use leftover rice or rice that I have cooked at least the day before that I have stored in the refrigerator.

Fried rice is at its most delicious when it’s fluffy and not too sticky. It should have distinct, individual grains. Here are tips to help you make fried rice that tastes as good as it does at your favorite restaurant. This link gives you details on the Best rice and method for cooking if you want to review: https://www.thespruceeats.com/making-rice-for-fried-rice-695035.

I have found that what works really well for me is to cook a cup of long grain rice in two cups of water. When the rice and water come to a boil, I place a lid on the pan, reduce the heat to simmer and cook until the water has absorbed. I then turn the burner off, fluff the rice with a fork, spread it out on a sheet pan until it has cooled, then store it in the refrigerator overnight at least for use the next day or so. One cup uncooked rice yields about 3 cups cooked. Double the recipe if you need more.
