Molly Patrick‘s Malaysian Fried Rice is one of the easiest things to whip up. The most important part of this recipe is the ginger, garlic, onions, and the sauce. Apart from that, it’s versatile. If you have other veggies in your fridge that you need to use, feel free to add them or substitute them for any of the veggies in this recipe. You can also make your rice a day ahead. It not only saves time but day old rice has a nice texture because it is dryer than rice right after it is cooked, which helps absorb the flavours more.
