Method

If using leftover rice, break up clumps; if cooking fresh, prepare 150 g rice with 300 ml water, simmer 12 min, then cool.
Zest the orange, then juice it; mince garlic.
Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat; add garlic and chilli flakes, stir‑fry 30 s.
Add rice, toss quickly, then pour in orange juice and sprinkle orange zest.
Season with mixed herbs, salt, pepper; stir‑fry 3‑4 min until rice is hot and slightly crisp.
Finish with a drizzle of extra orange juice if needed and sprinkle sesame seeds before serving.

Use day‑old rice – it resists turning mushy and gives that coveted fried‑rice bite.
