Leftover Rice. It is better to use leftover rice for this recipe as if you will cook it right now without leaving it to sit overnight in the fridge, the rice will have too much starch, and it will be too sticky.

If you’re looking for a side dish to go with a larger meal, this recipe works great as a side dish alongside grilled meats or stir-fried vegetables.

If you’re looking for an extra protein boost, consider topping each serving with a fried egg. The runny yolk will add a delicious richness to the dish.

🏆 Expert Tips. What to Pay Attention To?

Use leftover rice that has been chilled: The texture of the rice will be much better if it has been chilled in the fridge overnight. Freshly cooked rice can be too sticky and mushy for this recipe.
Cut the luncheon meat into small pieces: Cutting the luncheon meat into small pieces will ensure that it cooks evenly and gets crispy on all sides.
Don’t overcook the vegetables: The vegetables should be cooked until they are tender but still have a bit of crunch to them. Overcooked vegetables can become mushy and lose their flavor and nutritional value.
Add the soy sauce gradually: It’s important to add the soy sauce gradually, tasting it as you go, to ensure that the dish doesn’t become too salty. Remember that different brands of soy sauce can vary in saltiness, so adjust accordingly.
Don’t stir-fry the rice too vigorously: Stir-frying the rice too vigorously can cause it to break apart and become mushy. Use a gentle stirring motion to avoid this.
