A plate of chicken fried rice with vegetables

Cold rice fries up way better than fresh hot rice — it doesn't get mushy.

How to make it

Cook the chicken. Heat the oil in a big pan, cook the chicken till done, then take it out.
Scramble the eggs. In the same pan, scramble the eggs, then take them out too.
Fry the rice. Add a little more oil, then the rice, vegetables, and garlic. Stir-fry 5 minutes.
Bring it together. Put the chicken and eggs back, pour in the soy sauce, and toss everything together.
Serve. Top with green onions and serve warm.
