For best results, use cold, day-old rice. This prevents the fried rice from becoming mushy. Feel free to substitute other vegetables based on what you have on hand. Diced bell peppers, corn, or broccoli florets work well. If you don't have cooked chicken, try using shrimp, pork, or tofu. Add a dash of sesame oil at the end for extra flavor. A sprinkle of red pepper flakes can add a nice touch of heat.
