Taste & Role

🍯 Sweet

The base for fried rice; grains must be cold and separate.

What it is

Fried rice demands day-old refrigerated rice: fresh rice is too moist and steams instead of frying, creating clumps. Cook rice a day ahead, spread it on a plate to cool quickly, then refrigerate uncovered overnight. The grains dry out just enough to fry separately and toast lightly.
