Chef's tips
Use cold, day-old red rice so the grains stay separate instead of clumping together.
Storage
Refrigerate up to 2 days in an airtight container.
Reheating
Reheat in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of oil.
Common mistakes to avoid
- •Using warm, freshly cooked rice, which turns mushy when fried
- •Crowding the pan too much, which steams the rice instead of frying it
