The Best Fried Rice Recipe 🍚
Description:
Probably not the quickest fried rice, but I promise, worth the effort. If you want it spicy hot, add chili peppers with the Chinese sausages or ham. It’s imperative to have all the ingredients assembled and ready to add to the wok before beginning to cook. This dish is a complete meal in a wok so it will make double or more the servings if used as a side dish.
