Why fried rice is ever so common & popular? Because the different combination of ingredients put in resulting in different unique flavor. Although it looks easy, but some tips that you must know to get a delicious plate of fried rice.
TIPS #1 - Overnight rice or cool rice are great for fried rice. Must not use the rice that just cooked and still hot because it will definitely sticky and difficult to stirfry. Fried rice must be stirfry rapidly under high heat to get the "wok hei" flavor and rice is added after the ingredients.
TIPS #2 - The experienced chef will usually stirfry rapidly to ensure every rice grain can be evenly fried. But not for most of us, we can only use the long handle spatula to stirfry the rice. Do not press or poke the rice because it may spoil the shape of the rice & become sticky.
TIPS #3 - Get a good wok or add more cooking oil. In normal case, oil is one of the key ingredients for a good fried rice as the rice will absorb the oil and will not be sticky. But, if you are using Queen's Xense Cookware, oil is not so important here. It comes with 5 layer Marble Coated Anodised Coating.
