Can I use fresh rice instead of leftover?

While day-old rice is preferred for its firmer texture, you can use freshly cooked rice by spreading it out to cool and dry for about 30 minutes before cooking.

How do I prevent the rice from becoming mushy?

Ensure the rice is dry and cooked separately before adding it to the pan. Avoid adding too much liquid and cook over high heat to quickly sear the ingredients.

What can I substitute for soy sauce?

Tamari or coconut aminos are great alternatives for those who are gluten-free or prefer a different flavor profile. You can also use a homemade mixture of soy sauce and a bit of vinegar for added tang.
