Note:
If you want to make lemon rice of fresh cooked rice, make it very fluffy and not gluey. Each rice grain should be separate. Spread this cooked rice in a big plate for about 10 minutes to cools down and refrigerate for 30 minutes. This will help to keep the rice grain separated and after stir-frying rice will taste better.
