Tips For Making The Best-Fried Rice
Here are some of my tried and true tips for making the most delicious fried rice.
These tips will make this dish simple and easy for you to make.
Use cold rice or day-old leftover rice. This prevents the rice from sticking together and getting mushy. When using fresh rice, undercook the rice to prevent sticking together
Scramble the egg separately. Scrambling the egg together with vegetables save on dishes and time but, the egg might end up coating all the other ingredients making your fried rice look mushy.
Using long-grain rice. Long grain is easy to use when making this dish.
Sticky Rice. When using sticky rice, always undercook the rice, the rice will cook some more when frying it with the other ingredients.
Sesame oil. For an authentic and nutty flavor, you can add some sesame oil ( optional)
Soy sauce. Use less salt and more soy sauce, it gives fried rice extra flavoring. You will enjoy the seasoning it gives to your dish..
What can you serve fried rice with?
You can serve it with salads
Fried Chicken
Quinoa Salad
Not only is this dish delicious, but it’s also versatile and easy to make.
I hope you will be able to try this dish, your family will love this dish.
