I had sesame chicken on Saturday. Thought it tasted funky. The next day I vomited my stomach out. First time I vomited for non alcohol reasons in 10 years

Turmeric and saffron

>>15187158
you idiot, that's not all there is to it

>>15187158
Saffron can give the rice a deep yellow color, but it is expensive af and no inexpensive to midsized restaurant will use it.

You are best off looking in the supermarket for a premixed yellow rice. It will be colored with turmeric, and include chicken bouillon (aka salt, msg and chicken flavor).

Or you can just, you know, add your own turmeric instead of looking for "yellow rice" that's marked up anyway. Dipshit.

Gutter oil and Yellow No. 5.

>>15187069
This might do it:
Have rice ready that has been steam cooked and chilled beforehand.
Use a good amount of oil on a pan. Fry finely diced or pureed onion/shallot and garlic. When that has cooked a while, put in about a half teaspoon turmeric and stir it up until it's browned a little. Add salt and black pepper and taste.
Now throw in the cooked rice. Mix it all up/cook it/heat it. Season if it's not tasty enough.
This comes close but it's more Indian style or something. You can add other things to the oil too like cumin seeds.
I don't remember where I learned this but it tastes close enough.

Turmeric .. Jesus people in this thread. Add a little turmeric to the rice

>>15188938
how is that magically supposed to make your rice as tasty as restaurant rice?

Geez pic obviously shows pork fried rice...

You gotta get some charsiu (red bbq pork).

What defines the dish is not the fucking yellow color but the ROAST aromas which comes from high heat of the wok (which your pleb stovetop won't achieve) and by browing onion and the bbq pork.

That's all there is to it. The very high heat of the wok, and tossing it on the edge of the wok by touching the flame.

Turmeric is almost tasteless

>>15187158
no chink restaurant is putting saffron in rice

also, OP asked how he can make his rice taste as good AS the yellow rice. Not how he can make it yellow. 1st grade reading comprehension.

>>15187069
Rinse your rice. Fry some turmeric and a little bit of cumin in butter for like a minute then toast the rice in it for a little bit. Use stock instead of water to cook the rice. Make sure to use enough salt, I can't tell the difference between adding mag or leaving it out so that might be a meme.
>>15190086
That's wrong, even if it's kinda subtle it absolutely has a flavor. Also I use a full tablespoon for a cup and a half of rice.

>add one tbsp turmeric
>add one liter of motor oil, piss, shit, and cum heated to a gentle rolling boil
>serve with "beef"*

>>15187163
I can't tell if this is deep sarcasm or actual stupidity.
It honestly is all there is too it. You'll be hard pressed to find any other non-obvious ingredient. Very rarely you might find a posh place that uses stock instead of water but that's it.

Indian restaurants often use it or have it as a more expensive rice option under different names (don't know about the states but Aus/UK definitely).
They use often use the shitty ground saffron though to give it the color which you can get from indian stores for a lot cheaper.
If you see the actual saffron hairs in your rice you know it's the good shit.
As a spice it's pretty fucking wild, the stuff basically costs more than coke and is the most expensive crop on Earth.
I'm not povo but fuck that, only ever use tumeric.

Try putting it in your coffee, then come back

Those places cook their rice in the virginal juices of the teenage Mongolian girls that work behind the counter.
