Notes

Why Use Canola Oil In This Recipe

Canola oil is a super versatile and mild-flavored oil that's perfect for cooking up egg fried rice. It's made from the seeds of the canola plant and has a high smoke point, meaning it can handle the high heat of stir-frying without burning. This makes it great for getting that crispy texture in your fried rice. Plus, canola oil is low in saturated fats and has a neutral taste, so it won’t overpower the other flavors in your dish—just giving you that perfect sizzle.
