Critical Success Points

  • Sautéing the spice paste until fully cooked and fragrant (Step 2)
  • Using cold, day-old rice to prevent mushy texture (Step 1)
  • Stir-frying the rice thoroughly to coat and separate grains (Step 6)

Safety Warnings

  • Use caution when stir-frying over high heat to avoid oil splatters.
  • Let the wok cool before washing to prevent burns.
