Notes:

• Make sure the rice is completely cooled before using it. If the rice is used warm, it may break and get mashed.
• Chop the spring onions, use the white part while sauteing onions. Then save the green part of spring onions for garnishing.
• Add salt in moderation, keeping in mind soy sauce has salt too.
• Adjust ground pepper, chilli sauce as per your heat tolerance level. If you want, you can omit green chillies too.
