Fried rice... A delicious and hearty dish that will be appropriate for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Golden, incredibly crumbly and fragrant, this rice will appeal to everyone, without exception! This amazing dish came to us from Chinese cuisine - in Asian countries it is one of the most popular dishes.

Cooking fried rice is quite simple - it does not require any special skills or too much time. Most often, rice grains are simply boiled until half cooked, and then fried with the addition of various spices and a small amount of water. However, it is quite acceptable to cook fried rice from dry cereals - in this case, rice is fried in oil, after which liquid is added to it. However, this cooking method is still less common.

Glutinous rice or jasmine rice is most suitable for frying. Quite often, eggs, shrimp, ham, onions or all kinds of vegetables are added to rice during frying. Of the vegetables, hostesses most often use a wide variety of types of cabbage, as well as various hard vegetables: corn, peas, green beans, carrots, celery, etc. As for mushrooms or soft vegetables such as pumpkin or eggplant, they are used for cooking fried it is better not to take rice - they make the rice more moist, which in this case is highly undesirable.
Ideally, the rice should be allowed to “rest” before frying - the freshly cooked rice is not yet sufficiently cooled or dry enough to be fried. The main secret of cooking oriental fried rice lies precisely in the fact that the hostesses give it a proper "rest" for one night.
It is especially good to fry rice in different oils, that is, in this case, it is recommended to combine different types of oils: olive oil with sesame, sunflower with corn, etc. so that the fried rice is not too fat and light enough (one tablespoon of oil is enough for this). If you want to give the finished dish a light Asian flavor, it makes sense to use only sesame oil.

Fried rice can be served on its own or as one of the components of all kinds of other dishes. And before serving, it is recommended to loosen it thoroughly - then it will become more airy and crumbly. Fried rice can easily be stored in the refrigerator for a week, and in the freezer (frozen) it can be stored for months.

With all the variety of national rice dishes, perhaps the majority is sure that any dish consisting of rice and meat is pilaf. Moreover, it is very difficult to convince. I remember how unsuccessfully they tried to dissuade one person that the Valencian paella is not "ordinary" pilaf.

In addition to pilaf, the world knows many outstanding rice-based dishes. In Valencia, a dish of saffron-dyed rice with an abundance of seafood called paella. does not resemble pilaf in consistency and can be cooked with many additives.
