Pro Tip

Best Ways To Use Fried Rice Sauce
Every easy fried rice recipe needs a flavor-packed sauce to wake-up your tastebuds! Simply cook your protein of choice with cold rice (we prefer day-old rice or leftover rice), beaten eggs, and frozen veggies on medium heat. Feel free to use any type of rice grains, like jasmine rice, white rice, basmati rice, etc. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds!
Fried Rice Sauce FAQs
Typically, a fried rice sauce has a thinner consistency for coating rice without getting too sticky. Stir fry sauce has a thicker consistency that is meant to stick to vegetables, meat, or noodles.
Usually 2-3 tablespoons of sauce is recommended for 4 cups of cooked rice, but, personally, we love things a little extra saucy. That is why we recommend using one batch of this sauce (about 3/4 cup) for 4 cups cooked rice.
