How can I add protein to this recipe?

This recipe is incredibly versatile! You can add pre-cooked proteins like diced chicken, shrimp, or tofu. Simply stir them into the rice during the last few minutes of cooking to warm them up.

What can I do if my rice is sticking to the pan?

If the rice sticks to the pan, your heat might be too high or you may need more oil. Make sure to use enough oil to coat the pan and prevent sticking. Using a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned wok also helps.

How do I keep my fried rice from being too salty?

Soy sauce already adds a lot of salt, so taste the rice before adding any extra salt. If you find that it’s too salty, you can mix in more plain rice to balance it out, or add a squeeze of lime juice or a bit of rice vinegar.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes. You can make the garlic fried rice ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, simply reheat it in a skillet with a little splash of water or oil to restore moisture and crispiness.
