Notes
Both Japanese rice and Jasmine rice are short-grain rice, which feature a slightly sticky texture that clings beautifully to the sauce and is essential in this recipe.
You can use leftover rice for this recipe, which will give a more fried rice-like texture.
Only use half the sauce when cooking in the pan to avoid oversaucing and creating a soggy rice dish. You can always add more upon serving.
Other protein substitute: salmon, chicken, tofu, etc.
