Fried rice was invented to use up leftovers, and it still works best that way. Cold rice from the fridge fries into separate grains; fresh rice turns to porridge.

Method

Cook it step by step

Step 1: Cook the egg first
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok or big pan over high heat. Pour in the beaten eggs, let them set for 30 seconds, then break them up and tip them onto a plate.

Evelyn's Tip

Use rice cooked the day before and kept in the fridge. Fresh, warm rice will clump no matter how good your pan is.
