Gordon Ramsay Fried Rice Recipe

The trick to fried rice that doesn’t turn into a sticky mess? Cold rice and a blazing hot pan! Thank you, Gordon Ramsay!
I make sure the rice is at least a day old, so it stays firm and doesn’t clump together.
Everything needs to be ready before you start cooking because once that pan is hot, things move quickly.
I use just enough soy sauce for a deep, savory taste without making the rice too dark or heavy.
Cooking in small batches prevents steaming and helps everything fry evenly instead of getting soggy.
I like to use a little butter along with oil—it gives a rich finish without making the rice greasy!
