Notes

Use day-old rice or refrigerate freshly cooked rice for at least 4 hours before drying for best texture

Homemade chicken stock creates notably richer flavor than store-bought

Keep soup as hot as possible before serving to maximize the sizzling effect

Rice can be prepared and fried up to 2 days ahead and stored in airtight container

Substitute chicken with tofu and use vegetable stock for vegetarian version

Add rice wine and oyster sauce for more authentic flavor depth
