    If I put chicken in it, does it still count as fried rice? Lol. Just curious.

    Why do you need day-old rice? I used fresh and it taste fine to me. 🤷‍♂️

    It was okay I guess, but my fried rice turned out mushy. What did I do wrong?

      Maybe just cook it longer? I like my rice more crispy, sometimes you just gotta crank up the heat a bit!

      Sounds like you might’ve used fresh rice instead of day-old rice! That can make it mushy. Try letting your rice cool and dry a bit before frying next time.
