How to make the best fried rice using left over rice, how to make crispy fried rice

I make fried rice I make 6 cups which is way too much for one meal for my family. Left over rice is a great staple for other meals in my family. I make rice every time I make Tacos as a great way to stretch a meal. My family loves a little rice in taco or soft taco just like a Chipolte burrito. Since I make 6 cups I know that we will have another Rice meal that week. My family’s favorite is fried rice which is a great way to use up left overs in a new meal.

The key to a great left over fried rice is the crispy part of the fried along with well done saute onions. How do you get the rice crispy is tossing your left over rice in corn starch.
