Notes

See this section above on how to cook rice perfectly for fried rice.
It is essential to keep all the ingredients ready and handy before cooking. Chinese cooking is done on high heat very quickly.
Stir-frying on high heat produces a characteristic smoky flavor – but take care not to burn the food.
Soy sauce is quite salty. So adjust the salt level accordingly.
