Notes
The perfect balance for fried rice in Asian restaurants is a 1:1:0.5 ratio of salt, sugar, and MSG. The sugar helps balance out the salt, which allows the dish to feel more well-rounded. Rather than using straight MSG, I prefer to use Chicken Powder or Mushroom Powder. However, keep
in mind that Chicken Powder and Mushroom Powder contains salt; therefore, the ratio for salt is lowered to prevent the dish from becoming overly salty.
