3. Vegetables
When it comes to making good fried rice, do not be afraid of using plenty of vegetables. Most of the time when you are ordering off a take-out menu, the veggies are going to be a bit skimpy. However, when you are making fried rice at home, add in some extra veggies. The vegetables will give the rice some great spots of color and will also add a lot of flavor and freshness to your fried rice.
White and green onions can be added to the fried rice as well. This will provide a nice little crunch and also provide some extra flavor to the rice. Carrots are commonly found in most fried rice recipes. You can also modernize the recipe by adding in some stir fry vegetables as well. It is easy to make any fried rice your own with just a few modifications.
