    • You can use a variety of mushrooms, from button, and white mushrooms, to shiitake mushrooms.
    • Always use day-old rice rather than freshly cooked rice since it has a firmer texture and can stand the high heat of the wok or pan. Long-grain white rice or brown rice can do for this recipe.
    • You may add a teaspoon of red chili flakes if you want the spiciness sings on.
    • Feel free to add a liberal amount of garlic to make chili garlic fried rice.
    • Alternatively, any homemade chili oil can do for this fried rice recipe if Chinese chili oil with flakes is unavailable.

    • Optional: Feel free to do some tweaks such as adding vegetables of your choice such as carrot, green beans, or cabbage, soy sauce or vegetarian oyster sauce, tofu blocks or eggs, ginger or a pinch of turmeric, or using black salt.
    • Storage: Let the leftover fried rice cool then refrigerate in an airtight storage container or a ziplock plastic bag for 3-4 days. Make sure to remove as much air as possible from the bag before sealing. Reheat it on low heat and stir frequently to prevent it from burning.
