Tips for frying crispy, beautifully golden fried rice, with grains that are fluffy and not sticky
- When frying rice, wait for the oil to be very hot before adding the rice, fry over high heat and stir evenly and vigorously so that the rice grains become crispy and golden.
- Do not use too much oil when frying rice as it will make the fried rice greasy, unappetizing, and hard to digest.
- It is best to use cold rice for better frying. If using freshly cooked rice, it should be spread out in a basket to evaporate quickly and cool down before starting to fry.
- You can use a cast iron pan or a deep pan to fry the rice crispy and easily stir the ingredients evenly.
- If you want the rice to be crispier, you can sun-dry a portion of the rice until it is crispy or put it in the freezer until it dries out, or mix that portion of rice with a little tapioca flour or corn flour, then fry this rice until crispy, lightly crush it into crumbs, and then mix it with the fried rice.
