This Quick and Easy Skillet Fried Rice turns out better with cold rice. The reason being when the rice is chilled the grains stay more separate and stand up better to the stir frying. You can use freshly made white rice but the texture sill be softer than the fried rice you get from a restaurant.
You can use any type of rice you want long grain, brown, basmati or jasmine. My choice of rice is long grain. Remember the key to this recipe is using pre- cooked, chilled rice.

Ingredients
