Notes

  • Add a day-old cold, cooked rice for the best fluffy fried rice texture. We love making fried rice with jasmine rice but any long grain or short grain rice can be used. 
  • You can swap beef mince with your choice of ground meat, or small dice of meat. 
  • As the stir fry sauces contain salt content we didn't add any salt to the fried rice. Make a taste test and adjust the salt, pepper, and soy sauce to your taste before serving.
