If you haven't had the experience of eating Chinese fried rice with an egg, then it's definitely time to make this exotic dish right now. The Land of the Rising Sun gave the world a lot of variations of this dish. The Chinese cook it with shrimp, pineapple, vegetables and even meat. So everyone can choose a suitable option for themselves.

Chinese rice

There are many recipes in Chinese cuisine that use rice and chicken eggs as the main ingredient. And this is not surprising, because for thousands of years this cereal has been the basis of the diet of the inhabitants of eastern countries.

For people accustomed to European food, the taste of many of them will seem more than strange. The abundance of spices and soy sauce instead of salt makes them very rich. Therefore, if you are not yet accustomed to such an unusual combination of products, be wary of adding traditional oriental seasonings to rice according to the Chinese recipe for which is indicated below.

• fennel;
• star anise;
• turmeric;
• Carnation;
• cinnamon.

If you are already familiar with them, you can determine in advance how acceptable Chinese spices are for your diet.

Please note that soy sauce gives the dish enough saltiness, so adding additional salt during cooking can cause food to taste too rich.

How to cook Chinese rice

Properly cooked rice with eggs is half the success, therefore, this process should be taken seriously. To make the finished cereal crumbly and tasty, before cooking rice in Chinese, it is advisable to remember the 3 basic rules of cooking.

1. For Chinese dishes, it is best to use long grain rice. They contain a small amount of amylopectin, which is responsible for gluing the grains during cooking, which means that it will not be difficult to cook really crumbly cereals.
2. Use non-stick or double-bottomed heavy-walled pots for cooking. Do not despair if there is no such utensil in your kitchen arsenal; you can replace it with an ordinary saucepan, substituting a flame divider or a thick cast-iron disc under the bottom.
3. Be sure to wash the rice to remove not only debris and dirt from it, but also excess starch.

Procedure:

• Measure out the required amount of cereal. One 250 ml faceted glass contains 275 g of raw rice.

• Pour cold water over the groats and stir gently. The liquid will instantly change its color from transparent to cloudy white. Strain out the dirty water and repeat the procedure 4 to 5 more times.

You should not stir the rice too vigorously, trying to get rid of excess starch as quickly as possible. Inaccurate movements can lead to a violation of the integrity of the grains.

• Pour the washed rice with water or broth at the rate of 1 part rice 1.5 parts water.

• Cover and cook over the fire. After boiling the liquid, reduce the flame to a minimum and cook for 10 to 12 minutes.
• Make sure all the liquid is absorbed into the rice. Turn off the heat and leave the cooked cereal for 10-15 minutes, tightly covering the pan with a lid and additionally wrapping it with a towel.

• Stir the cooked rice with a spatula and cool.

Cooking rice

This is not even a recipe, but a little trick that makes the grains perfect in taste and appearance. Rice cooked in this way is ideal for frying - crumbly, not sticky, aromatic, like in the best Chinese restaurants that Europeans admire so much.

You will need:

• Jasmine rice (can be substituted for basmati) - 1 cup (250g)
• 2 cups boiled water cooled to 85-90 ° С
• ½ teaspoon salt

Preparation:

• Pour the rice into a deep bowl and rinse under running cold water for 5-6 minutes (not ice, otherwise it will crack during cooking), lightly rubbing it with your fingers. The water should be drained several times until it becomes completely transparent. Transfer the rice to a sieve and drain.
• Put the washed cereal in any cooking pot, add hot water and bring to a boil over high heat.
• Turn off the stove and let the rice brew for 10-12 minutes (no more).
• Place the cooked rice in a colander and rinse. Drain and refrigerate for 5-6 hours (preferably overnight).
