– The key to a good friedrice lies in the quality of the cooked white rice. It should have minimum amount of moisture so its always best to use cooked rice that has rested for a couple of hours or refrigerated cold rice. You can use basmati rice or jasmine rice or your everyday rice (samba, sona masoori, sannalu etc) that you cook.
– Secondly, each rice grain should be separate and not sticking to each other. In other words, it should be dry.
– Thirdly, the rice has to be stir fried on very high heat with continuous tossing so that the rice is perfectly roasted till compeletly dry and crisp and attains a sort of smoky flavor.
– Finally, it helps to cook fried rice in a wide wok that is well seasoned and remember to use a generous amount of oil so that the fried rice ingredients are well roasted and do not stick to the pan. We are not talking about calories in fried rice in this blog post. 🙂
