Fry it.

bump =)

day old rice.

use double the oil you think you'll need.

>>10139957
use peanut oil with a small dash of toasted sesame oil

>>10139962
>day old rice
This is so true. Make sure it's left uncovered so it dries out as much as possible. Old wet rice is terrible to fry.

>>10139957
use old rice and high heat

>>10139962
>use double the oil you think you'll need.
no way, too much oil makes it soggy

>>10139957
Use a giant wok with like a 20,000,000 BTU burner

Cold rice. And I know not everyone does this but using butter instead of vegetable oil improves the flavour tenfold.

What else do you guys use for flavor?
I tried using sesame chili oil and butter which helped a bit but it was still pretty bland

>>10140053
What style are you looking for?
Chinese, Thai... American?
I usually make Thai. Contrary to the day old rice meme, fresh rice works better. But that's because jasmine rice.

>>10140071
Chinese i suppose. I didnt know there were different types

Day old rice. Soy sauce, sweet soy sauce, fish sauce, garlic, ginger, curry powder, MSG, finish with sesame oil after you turn the heat off so it doesn't burn.

My grandma makes peruvian fried rice and she uses that yellow rice. shits great I gotta visit her and get the recipe

>>10140022
not if the pan is hot enough

I follow this to the letter. It’s never failed me yet.

Why did you do this

>>10140132
>it owns a wok
>but does not own a table spoon

how

>>10140091
garlic, ginger, soy, oyster sauce
That's pretty much the profile for Chinese(American).

I do a very basic fried rice with just rice, carrots, onion and garlic. I mix the (day old) rice with a couple of eggs but I don't know if that helps.

I also use a non stick pan becuase that's all I have and I don't even use high heat, but it turns out pretty ok.

>>10140132
British people ripped apart China and controlled Hong Kong for a century just to do this

>>10140513
Nah mate, we did that because we caught the yellow fever. The fried rice was just a Brucie bonus.

Fry up 3-4 eggs, cut it all up into small pieces, set aside.
Have veggies, heat up set aside (using frozen medley to avoid work)

Rest has been said. Only other tip would be high heat stir a lot. Flavor wise you can do anything, soy + oyster sauce is good.

>>10139957
Yes.
In the restaurants, they use high power burners, and high heat really is key to fried rice.
To compensate for that,
-try to have your rice pretty dry (make it in advance, that's why many people use day old rice). Long grain (basmati, jasmine...) rices dry better.
-make small batches. Really on a home stove, one portion can turn out great, two is probably good but three will probably not work.
-use dry-ish veggies. You want lots of onion? Consider using powder, or substitute for leek.
-when adding wet sauces (i.e. soy sauce), don't use too much at once
-Eggs? Fry them first, reserve them and add at the end. It's the proper way.

People will get autistic over ingredients, but it's a technique not a recipe.

>>10140053
Rice wine vinnegar

or use fresh rice and first fry it gently until it colours a little and then boil it on low heat with the lid on and leave to rest before serving with tomato

Day old rice is and haas been a meme for a long time. Let it sit uncovered for a while based on region/humidity. You dont need to wait a whole day, especially if you have a strainer and rinse it.

>>10141275
Fried rice to me has always been an easy and fast way to reheat old rice and create another meal out of it.

If i'm making fresh rice i'm not going to waste my time to make fried rice out of it also.

>>10139957
Pan...nice and hot

fish sauce and sweet soy sauce (kecap manis). Miles better than reggie soy sauce

>>10141275
buddy you really going to put giant fucking green beans in there?

>>10142192
Green beans like that are pretty standard for indonesian and thai

>>10140091
>Chinese i suppose. I didnt know there were different types
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fried_rice#Varieties
Might give you some ideas. I'm particularly fond of Thai fried rice and Indonesian fried rice (nasi goreng)

>>10142192
That's not risotto.

>>10139957
use left over rice

>>10142192
I thought your image was this image before I clicked on it. The dish in my image looks more appealing to eat than whatever's on your plate.

>>10139957
if you refrigerate the rice you're gonna use it'll separate better in your pan

>>10142547
Who the fuck eats Glockaroni with a spoon?

>>10139957
You take cooked rice and then you fry it.

how long to I leave the rice on the pan?

My secret is apple wine vinegar

Do everything in small batches over the highest heat setting on your stove so it actually sears instead of steams. Just don't let the oil smoke too much.
>>10140053
Make sure you have enough onion, I always find fried rice to be pretty bland no matter what else is in it if there isn't enough onion. You can use soy sauce for flavor but you'll still probably have to use some salt, if you use enough soy sauce to make it salty the flavor will be too strong. You can add some kind of flavorful cured meat like lap chong if you can find it. And vinegar like >>10141150 suggests.

>>10142580
Hmnh, I think I mistranslated it, I suppose it's apple cider vinegar*

>>10142572
Until it's slightly dry and crispy. Most Chinese places just put the rice in a wok to season and heat it up so you might not know what that texture is like if it's what you're used to. Just put it in the pan over high heat with a bit of oil and keep stirring and tossing it, then taste it every 30 seconds until it gets to a texture that you like.

>>10142547
i think you're being a little bit facetious.
>>10142209
i've never had a thai fried rice with grean beans.
>>10142521
fried rice is another strong recipe i have.
i wish i've had indonesian fried rice.

>>10142602
I think you fucked up the eggs there, dude.

>>10142712
i think how the eggs are cooked in fried rice is one of the most subjective and varied things you could mention.
The only way to fuck them up is if they're still runny and gooey, or if they are burnt to a crisp.

>>10142192
Im on a huge budget and got 25 pounds of green beans frozen for free. You do what you can.

>>10142991
it makes so much more sense in this rice dish.

>>10140053
I use a mixture of gochujang, honey, and soy sauce for my stir-fry occasionally

>>10139957
PINEAPPLE

>>10140053
I use soy sauce and oyster sauce. Oyster sauce really gives it that nice flavor.

>>10140132
not her again.
>has dessert spoons, but no actual tablespoons
>watching her chop that garlic
>that commentary

>>10139957
MSG

>>10139957
Don't

>>10140103
I'm Puerto Rican and I love frying leftover yellow rice. With ham and egg.

This chick has some good vids on different fried rice dishes:

My momma always made spanish rice growin up. Super taste and healthy if you use the right ingredients

>>10140053
I use this.

>>10145215
this is kind of sad considering how easy it is to impart flavor to fried rice.
I've made amazing fried rice with only a few easy things.
>good soy sauce
>chili oil
>crushed garlic
>even using Furrikake works
So needing to add flavor mixes is really a sign of poor cooking. It's not hard to make delicious fried rice, and the effort involved is so minimal you shouldn't even need to rely on that.
