Special Notes

This Uncle Roger-inspired fried rice is all about technique and flavor. The key is using day-old, chilled rice that's not sticky. The high heat and constant stirring create the perfect texture. The combination of soy sauce and oyster sauce creates authentic umami flavor. This dish is perfect for using up leftover rice and vegetables. For the best results, cook everything quickly over high heat to maintain the vegetables' crispness.
