This is a fragrant delicious dish, very quick and easy to make. All you need is to cook 2 cups of jasmine rice the day before you want to make this recipe. And if you use the ready to eat microwave rice, the cooking time will take you just 15 minutes.

Note: rice must be cold and quite dry, in order to prevent it sticking together in clumps when added to the wok. Frozen rice is particularly good for frying, it just needs to be partially thawed.
