Notes
- Basmati white is my favorite rice to make Java. It is fluffy, light and does not clump together. It just makes a beautiful fried rice and I love it! With that said, feel free to use jasmine rice, this recipe works either way!
- This is a base recipe. You could elevate it with some chopped onions, bell peppers and green onions.
