You will only need a few ingredients to make this delicious fried rice and seafood meal in under 30 minutes. Grab some white rice, frozen peas and carrots, a couple of eggs, soy sauce, sesame oil, and a bag of Seafood Medley to get started. I’ve got some tips below sharing the secrets to perfect fried rice every time.

What is the secret to good fried rice?

There are a few secrets to ensuring that your fried rice turns out perfectly. You really need to use medium or long grain rice, and not the minute rice variety. Another thing is, cold leftover rice is actually key to making this recipe perfect! So next time, don’t toss that rice! Instead, turn it into delicious fried rice the next day.

How long should you refrigerate rice for fried rice?

I get it. You have no leftover rice, but want to make this recipe right now. That’s not a problem! Simply prepare your white rice, and refrigerate it for about 30 minutes. That should be long enough for it to chill so that you can use it in this recipe.
