Notes
Use cooked and cooled rice so it stays fluffier when sautéed. Cut the cabbage into medium pieces so it cooks lightly without losing texture. Soy sauce is already salty, so taste before adding more salt. This recipe can also include grated carrot, corn, peas or other vegetables you have on hand.
