Tips to Cook A Good Egg Fried Rice
Use Cold Rice
Fried rice is usually a dish that you make to repurpose the leftover cooked rice from the day before. Don’t use freshly cooked rice, which may yield fried rice with a soft texture. However, if you didn’t cook the rice a day before, here is a little tip that I use. Spread a layer of freshly cooked rice onto a large baking tray evenly and put it into the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. (the longer the better)
Use High Heat
This will help fry and brown the rice and veggies well, and will also help prevent the rice from steaming in the pan instead of frying. Besides, high heat also can increase the “Wok Hei” (锅气), which is to increase the aroma of the egg fried rice.
Stir Frequently
This can help the egg fried rice heat up and cook evenly, to preventing burning and to combine ingredients, and create uniform flavor dispersal.
