For best results, use day-old rice as it is drier and will fry up better without becoming mushy. Feel free to customize this recipe with your favorite vegetables, such as peas, bell peppers, or broccoli. If you don't have white pepper, black pepper can be used as a substitute. Adjust the amount of soy sauce and sugar to suit your personal taste preferences.
