Japanese fried rice also call Yakimeshi. It tastes much creamier than Chinese fried rice. The major difference compare to Chinese fried rice is Chinese fried rice tends to use a longer grain rice, while Japanese fried rice uses the stickier shorter grained type rice.
Use day-old rice works best in this recipe, so plan ahead. Same to any other fried rice recipes.
