Prepare the ingredients
After cooking the rice, fluff it, let it cool, and put it in the refrigerator for 2 – 3 hours to make the rice really dry.
Mushrooms should be soaked in salted water for 15 minutes, then washed thoroughly. Use a knife to cut the mushrooms into small cubes.
Tofu should be cut into thin 1 cm slices, then diced into small cubes.
Wash the chili and lemongrass, then finely chop them.
Tip: Putting the rice in the refrigerator will help the rice dry out and not stick together when frying, making it tastier.

Fry the tofu
Place a pan on the stove and add oil to cover half of the pan. Heat the oil until it’s very hot before frying the tofu.
When the oil is hot enough, add all the tofu to fry. Fry until the tofu is evenly golden, then remove it.
-
Stir-fried mushrooms
Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan. Wait for the oil to heat up, then add the mushrooms, adding 1/4 teaspoon of seasoning to stir-fry the mushrooms. Use a spatula to stir until the mushrooms are evenly cooked.
When the mushrooms are cooked, add the tofu and stir-fry together, mixing well until both the mushrooms and the tofu are evenly cooked, then turn off the heat.
-
Fry the rice
After turning off the heat, add the rice to the hot pan, stirring the rice in the pan without heat. Season the rice with 1 tablespoon of vegetarian seasoning, then mix well so that the rice absorbs the seasoning evenly.
After stirring the rice evenly, add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil to the pan and turn on the heat, frying the rice over medium heat.
When you hear a sizzling sound from the pan, add the lemongrass to fry along. Stir the rice well so that the lemongrass is evenly mixed with the rice.
Once the rice is fried, turn off the heat, add the chili, and stir the rice in the hot oil. When the chili is well mixed in, transfer it to a plate to enjoy the dish.
Note:
You can add soy sauce or vegetarian fish sauce to the rice, but do not add too much, as the rice will become wet and not taste good.

Completed Dish
The finished lemongrass fried rice has the characteristic aroma of fresh lemongrass, crispy delicious tofu, and sweet chewy mushrooms that will impress even the pickiest eaters. Served with a bowl of soy sauce and a few slices of spicy chili will be the best.

Prepare the ingredients
After cooking, fluff the white rice and transfer it to a bowl to cool. Place it in the refrigerator for 2 – 3 hours so the rice becomes fluffy and does not stick together.
Wash the chili peppers and chop them finely.

Make the crispy fried rice
Pour oil to cover 1/3 of the pan, heat the oil until hot, then start frying the rice.
Add 1 bowl of rice to fry until the rice turns golden, then remove it from the pan.
The fried rice will stick together in one mass. When the rice starts to cool, just use a spoon to mash it, and the rice will naturally become fluffy again.

Next, add the remaining 2 bowls of white rice, 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, and 1 teaspoon of soy sauce to the pan. Mix the ingredients in the pan without heat so that the seasonings are evenly absorbed by the rice.
Turn on medium heat, stir well to gradually heat the rice.
When you hear the rice grains crackling and becoming firmer, add chili and crispy fried rice. Turn off the heat and mix well so that the dish absorbs the seasonings evenly.

Final Product
The spicy fried rice is completed with a spicy and salty flavor combined with the chewy, delicious fried rice and the crispy texture that extremely stimulates the taste buds. This dish is very simple, easy to make, and suitable for all families and ages.
Tips for Success:
– To make the fried rice tastier, you should use 2 types of rice for frying. One type is cooked from sticky rice, and the other is cooked from dry rice, which is usually used for making crispy fried rice.
– The best fried rice is made from dry, fluffy rice grains. If the rice is too wet, the fried rice will not be good; you can use wet rice to make rice balls or rice cakes instead, which will taste better.
