Notes
- Use day-old cold rice for best texture. Fresh rice turns mushy.
- If using fresh rice, spread on a baking sheet and chill uncovered 1 hour to dry it out.
- Cook on the highest heat so the rice fries, not steams.
- Season at the end. Anchovies and soy are salty, taste first before adding salt.
- Save a handful of anchovies to sprinkle on top for extra crunch.
- Add sesame oil last right before serving to keep the aroma.
