CHEF COMMENTS

NB: It is important that the rice be cold and has at least had 2 hours to chill. In this chilling time, the rice has time to form crystals that are essential to the rice keeping its shape during the frying process.
Light soy sauce is also known as thin soy.

I'd recommend a dry white with this.
