  • Cook the rice in chicken broth: This will add flavor to the rice.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok: This will help the rice get a nice, even sear.
  • Don't overcrowd the wok: Cook the rice in small batches so that it doesn't steam.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color, texture, and flavor to the dish.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: They should be crisp-tender.
