Cook’s Notes:
If you don’t have any leftover cooked white rice, here’s how to make it: Combine 4 cups water and 2 cups white rice in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. For the best fried rice results, cover and refrigerate the rice for 8 hours to overnight before using in this recipe.
