    What is fried rice?

    As the name suggests, fried rice is rice that has been fried.

    Typically, fried rice is made in a wok and fried using high heat.

    By using high heat, it allows the rice to fry crisp and give a nice texture to the end result.

    Fried rice recipes can use any kind of rice, depending on the recipe.

    The most common type of rice used in fried rice is long grain rice such as basmati rice.

    What’s more, fried rice recipes usually call for rice that is a day old. This is because day old rice has dried out slightly.

    This allows the fried rice to have a better texture when made.

    If you use fresh rice, usually fried rice will be more sticky and less crisp in texture.

    Tips for making the best fried rice

    Here are some of our top tips when making fried rice:

    • Use day old rice.
    • Long grain rice, such as basmati, works best for most fried rice recipes.
    • Use high heat when cooking your fried rice – this will help make your rice become crisp and have a nice texture when cooked.
