Fried Rice Tips

This fried rice recipe is simple but with these tips, you can push your meal over the top! Impress your family with this delicious dish in just 30 minutes.

First, we suggest starting off with the right rice. Our choice is aromatic jasmine rice because the long grains cook up to fluffy perfection. This makes it easier to toast up each grain and evenly coat them with sauce. Also, it’s best to use leftover or chilled rice, as you want it to dry out. Using Success® Rice, ready in just 10 minutes, will help you speed up the cooking process.

Next, make sure to boost your dish with a flavorful base of sautéed chicken, sugar snap peas, garlic and chili pepper. Also, toast your rice with the soy sauce for a perfectly-seasoned dish.

Thai-Inspired Flavors

Although fried rice is commonly associated with Chinese cuisine, it is found in many other countries, as well. Common in Thai and Korean cuisine, try it at home with this recipe and our Pineapple and Shrimp Thai Fried Rice Bowl or Kimchi Fried Rice Bowl with Fried Egg.

This dish gets a kick from a Thai red chili pepper which offers a moderate to hot level of spice. It also includes a dash of soy sauce and cashews sprinkled over the top. These ingredients are typically found in flavorful Thai dishes. Craving seafood? Try our: shrimp recipes with rice.
