Tips for Making Chili Fried Rice

  • Use leftover rice. Chili fried rice is a great way to use up leftover rice. It's best to use rice that is a day or two old, as it will be less sticky and easier to stir-fry.
  • Chop the ingredients into small pieces. This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok or large skillet. A well-seasoned wok or large skillet will help prevent the rice from sticking.
  • Heat the wok or skillet over high heat. This will help create a nice sear on the rice and vegetables.
  • Add the rice and stir-fry until it is heated through. Be careful not to overcook the rice, or it will become mushy.
  • Add the chili sauce, soy sauce, and other seasonings. Stir-fry for a few minutes, or until the rice is evenly coated.
  • Serve immediately. Chili fried rice is best served hot and fresh.
