Tips and tricks

Tips and tricks for making three-delight fried rice

To keep the rice fluffy and loose, remember to cook it al dente, stop the cooking with cold water, and drain it very well.

Use long-grain or basmati rice, but never parboiled rice.

If you don't like soy sauce, remember to season with salt instead.
