Nanchang Fried Rice
Leftover rice often clumps and hardens overnight, but briefly microwaving it before stir-frying makes it much easier to cook.
Story
Overnight leftover rice can easily become hard and clump together. A helpful cooking trick is to briefly heat it in the microwave before tossing it into the wok. This simple step loosens the grains and makes it much easier to achieve the perfect texture when stir-frying.
