[FAQ]
Q: I don't have a strong stove. My rice always end up soggy
A: The problem could be one of below ↓
1: Your rice is too wet
Wet rice makes it soggy. So make sure to measure the rice and water properly.
And once it's cooked, it's even better if you freeze it once. You will see it break apart lot easier
2: You didn't heat your pan enough
The most common mistake. Make sure to heat your pan until "SMOKING" hot.
It's impossible to heat your pan very fast like Chinese restaurants, but if you take your time to heat it, you can make similar environment.
My stove is a $10 cheap one, but I can still cook like a pro😉
