Notes

Long-grain white rice produces the best texture for this recipe.For a vegetarian version, substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth.Add cooked chicken, shrimp, or beef for a complete meal.Brown rice can be used but will require additional liquid and a longer cooking time.A splash of sesame oil adds extra fried rice flavor.Use low-sodium soy sauce if preferred.Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.Add a small amount of broth or water when reheating if the rice becomes dry.
