FAQ:

Can I use brown rice instead of jasmine rice?

Yes, you can use brown rice, but keep in mind that it has a different texture and may require a longer cooking time.

Can I make this vegetarian or vegan?

Absolutely! Simply omit the eggs and choose tofu as your protein. Ensure that your soy sauce and oyster sauce are vegetarian or vegan versions.

How do I prevent the rice from sticking to the wok?

Using chilled, day-old rice and making sure your wok or skillet is hot before adding the rice helps prevent sticking. You can also add a little extra oil if needed.
