Tips, food safety & substitutions

Day-old cold rice fries best — fresh hot rice turns sticky. Food safety: cook the eggs until fully set; reheat leftover rice until steaming hot. Allergens: contains egg and soy (soy sauce, wheat). Substitute: use leftover roti pieces instead of rice, or replace sesame oil with a little ghee. Nutrition is an estimate per serving.
