Using day-old rice is crucial for achieving the desired texture. Freshly cooked rice will result in a sticky and soggy fried rice. For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for added spice or a splash of liquid aminos for umami. Garnish with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of sesame oil for an appealing presentation.
