  • Cook each component separately: Cooking eggs, onions, and meatballs separately before combining gives each its optimal texture and flavor.

Tips & Notes

  • Rice that has been cooked and refrigerated overnight (or up to 3 days) makes better fried rice. Before using, break up any large clumps with a spoon.
