Notes
It is best to use cooled room temperature rice while making fried rice.
After adding the spices, saute it quickly as it can burn with the high heat.
Sesame seeds and oil add the extra flavor but are optional ingredients.
It is best when served hot. Boiled Egg Fried Rice does not store well for a long time at room temperature or in the refrigerator because of the eggs.
