You can cook fried rice with just about any ingredients, and making them with eggs is the simplest way. But taking your fried rice to another level requires some tricks.

The choice of rice can make a huge difference: try cooking it with long-grain rice, a type of rice mostly used in southern China and Southeast Asia. It’s less sticky than short-grain rice and helps fluff up your fried rice.

Adding ingredients like shrimp gives your rice that extra umami as well. And just a splash of Shaoxing wine will enhance the taste of your shrimps.
