  10. Add the cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps, and stir everything together.
  11. Pour the soy sauce over the rice mixture, starting with 2 tablespoons, and season with salt and pepper as needed.
  12. Continue to stir-fry the rice for another 3-5 minutes.
  13. Taste your fried rice and adjust the flavor with more soy sauce or salt if needed.

  • Feel free to add proteins like chicken, shrimp, or tofu for a heartier meal.
  • Adjust the soy sauce and seasoning to your taste preference.
