Notes
Tips
Use a wok. While you can definitely use a standard frying pan to make this char siu rice recipe, I prefer to use a wok. It’s the perfect pan to make fried rice!
Don’t skip the sauces. Make sure to use the shoyu, oyster sauce, and sesame oil as instructed. These sauces add so much to the flavor profile of this dish.
Cold rice is best. This char siu fried rice dish is the ultimate way to use up any leftovers. Cold rice fries up a lot better than warm, so if you do use fresh rice, make sure to chill it thoroughly before getting started.
