Slice the cucumber diagonally and arrange the slices in a circle around a serving platter. Serve the fried rice in the center of the platter, topping with additional green onion and a sprinkle of white pepper.

For best results, use day-old rice as it fries up better and doesn't become mushy.
Don't overcrowd the pan. Work in batches if necessary to ensure the rice fries properly.
Feel free to add your favorite protein! Cooked shrimp, diced ham, or shredded chicken are all great options.
Adjust the amount of Sriracha to your desired spice level.
If you don't have fish sauce, you can substitute with a teaspoon of soy sauce for a slightly different flavor profile.

    The fish sauce really makes a difference! I didn't have it the first time I made this, but it's a must-have ingredient now.

    I love how customizable this recipe is. I've made it with tofu, shrimp, and even just veggies, and it's always delicious.
