Egg fried rice, I made a mess

You need to make sure the rice used is the right type ( def not long gain rice) and it is best to leave them over night.

You do know that there are lots of different way to make fried rice. I quite like it with Jew's ear.

It doesn't really matter if your rice has been cooked the day before or right at the time that you intend to cook fried rice.

Rinsing rice.
1. Measure your rice, it doesn't matter if it's long grain or not, as long as you measure it right, it should cook fine. Rinse two times and how much rice you measured should be the same with the water.

2. After the rice is cooked, you just set it aside, let it cool for some minutes and then using a spatula loosen the rice a bit.

Frying Eggs
1. Before frying the rice, you got to fry the eggs first, three table spoons of cooking oil should do.

After frying the eggs. You can now fry the rice.

Frying Rice
1. Crush garlic and chop.
2. Heat pan, making sure that it is hot enough, then pour the cooking oil.
3. Mince garlic until golden brown.
4. Add the loosened rice.
5. Put a little salt, or if you like msg -whatever.

when you cook the rice just make sure that you dont add excessive amounts of water. american long grain and basmati rice are both fine. Best to let it cool to evaporate off the water then put it in the fridge over night. The next day you just have to break it up with a spatula.

Chinese people normally eats the rice freshly cooked and leftovers are fried so that you have a hot meal next day without wasting. It is best to use gas fired cooking stove and you want to keep turning it until the rice is nice and dry.

Good luck

I hope the OP's rice cooking has got better in the seven years since he first posted about his initial disaster!

[Saracen]

Gawd, I sure hope so.

Mine certainly improved after my first attempt at fried rice, the net result of which was a lot of mush in the bin, and cold milk and cereal for dinner that night.

I'll share an Indian technique.

Take 1/2 glass of rice and put it in a pot with 1/2 the pot filled with water. Let it boil , when it starts bubbling, check if the rice is still rock hard or has softened. Once the rice has softened, put a lid on the pot , take it to your sink and let the water pass through. Then, leave it back on the cooker for a few mins.
