But don't worry it is because Daikon radish contains more water! Daikon Mochi is juicy and easier to eat than Imo Mochi. Kids ate well 😉 Please try both and see which one you like 👍

In Japan, we make Chahan (fried rice) at home using leftover ingredients in the fridge 😋

I hope this very basic recipe will give you an idea to make your fried rice 👍

TIPS: Adding rice at room temperature makes rice drier (not too sticky). Hot or cold is not recommended. To make your rice drier, cook 2 servings at once. Too much rice makes the fried rice moist and sticky.
