Tips & Substitutions
For a flavor boost, consider adding some frozen peas or diced carrots to the mix. If you prefer a vegetarian version, substitute the hamburger with tofu or tempeh.

Consider serving it alongside Arli's Broccoli Salad for a refreshing crunch, or enjoy it on its own as a hearty main dish. You can also garnish with sliced green onions or sesame seeds for added flavor and texture.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, use a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water or broth to prevent sticking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use brown rice instead of white rice?
Yes, you can use brown rice as a healthier alternative! Just ensure it is fully cooked before adding it to the skillet, as brown rice may take longer to cook than white rice. The texture will be slightly nuttier, which can enhance the overall flavor of the dish.
Is it possible to make this dish gluten-free?
Absolutely! To make this fried rice gluten-free, simply use a gluten-free soy sauce substitute, such as tamari. Be sure to check the labels on any sauces you use to ensure they are gluten-free. This way, you can still enjoy a delicious meal without the gluten.
What can I add to make this dish spicier?
If you're looking to add some heat, consider incorporating sliced jalapeños or a dash of red pepper flakes when sautéing the vegetables. You can also drizzle some sriracha or chili oil on top just before serving to give it that extra kick. Adjust the spice level according to your preference!
