Notes

*1 1/2 cups of raw rice will make about 5 cups of cooked white rice. If you are making rice for this recipe, be sure to rinse the rice before cooking to remove extra starch so your fried rice doesn’t end up sticky.

**For Gluten Free, make sure to use Tamari soy sauce or a soy sauce specifically labeled "gluten-free".
