Notes
- Substitute: Garlic ginger soy sauce needs to be made in advance, so if you want to make this recipe right away, substitute it by mixing soy sauce, grated garlic, and grated ginger.
- Garlic ginger soy sauce will last for 2 to 3 months in the fridge. It’s an all-purpose sauce that is great for stir fry, karaage, or marinade for any ingredients.

- Leftover rice is perfect for fried rice (will be less mushy). When using the rice, microwave them before adding to a frying pan then you can save cooking time.
- If you are going to cook rice for this dish, add a little less water to make it harder texture.
