Pro Tips

1. Use Day-Old Rice For the best texture, use rice that has been cooked and cooled overnight in the refrigerator. This helps the grains to firm up, preventing them from becoming too mushy when stir-fried.

2. Customize Your Veggies While asparagus is great, you can also add other vegetables like bell peppers, peas, or carrots. Just ensure they are cut into bite-sized pieces and added at the right time so they don’t become overcooked.

3. Proper Pan Heat Management Start with a medium-high heat when sautéing the onions and garlic to prevent burning, but turn the heat to high when adding the asparagus and rice to get a nice char and flavor.

4. Layer Your Flavors Incorporate the sauces gradually, tasting as you go. This allows you to adjust the saltiness and ensure the flavors are well balanced according to your preference.

5. Finishing Touch Add a splash of lime juice or a sprinkle of fresh herbs, like cilantro or Thai basil, before serving to add a fresh aromatic note to the dish.
