3. Rice fried in oil until slightly golden will be friable and tasty.
4. Groats are poured only with boiling water! Rice can be poured with cold water only if you rinse it at the end, or if you want to cook sticky porridge.
5. Such spices as turmeric, paprika, curry, saffron, zira are in good harmony with rice groats.
6. The amount of water to rice is usually calculated by the proportion of 1 (rice) to 2 liquids. However, different types of cereals require a slightly different amount. If the water has evaporated and the cereal is not ready, just pour a little more boiling water and cover with a lid. If there is a little bit left until the cereal is ready, you can add a little boiling water, close the container with a lid and wrap it with a towel. The dish is sure to come.

For fried rice with corn and egg, rinse the rice in several waters and boil in salted water until tender, according to the time indicated on the package. This dish is better to cook from long-grain rice, I used basmati.

Fold the finished rice in a colander, wait until all the water drains.

Cut the onion into a small dice.

Heat the odorless vegetable oil in a pan and add chopped onion, mix and wait until the onion becomes clear.

At this time add to the onion. It is not necessary to defrost beforehand; in hot oil it thaws so quickly.

Mix the corn with onions, cover and simmer for 5-7 minutes.

Shake 2 eggs in a separate bowl.

Move the vegetables in the pan to the side and pour the egg mixture, mix the eggs quickly so that they are evenly fried.

Add garlic squeezed through a press, pour soy sauce and mix the contents of the pan. If there is no sauce, then you can simply salt the dish to taste.

Close the pan with a lid and let the fried rice with corn and egg stew well for 2-3 minutes. If you fry the rice for longer in a pan, it will become more crispy and dark in color.

Put the finished rice with corn on a plate and decorate with chopped herbs, for example, green onions.

If desired, the mixture of vegetables can be changed and green peas, carrots, sweet peppers, etc. can be added to the corn. The dish is sweet and very tender.

Fried rice with corn and egg is ideal for fish or seafood dishes.
