📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Born from the practical wisdom of making good use of last night's leftover rice, this fried rice is made frequently in Vietnamese homes. Seasoning with fish sauce is the defining touch, and freely adding whatever's in the fridge — eggs, sausage, vegetables — is the norm. It's also a common lunchbox staple for kids.
