It's a long heady process that is almost iddentical to caramelizing onions. Should take just as long too. A grain of rice is delicate and every grain needs your most devoted attention if you want uniform beauty out of them. I make the best fried rice and it goes well with the spicy mayo I make for pork and shrimp dishes.

Depends:
Do you have a wok range?
>Yes.
Then just get it super duper fucking hot and use the normal stir-fry order, just adding rice immediately before the herbs.
>No.
Use as high a heat as possible. After cooking your aromatics and other ingredients, add a quarter cup of liquid per cup of cooked, refrigerated rice just before you intend to add said rice. Toss the rice about to absorb the liquid and heat through, then continue to stir-fry after it has absorbed all of it. When it /just/ starts to stick to the pan, off the heat and stir in any herbs and cooked egg you intend to have with your rice.

I grew up on fried rice and that's how my mum (normal hob) and auntie (both normal hob and wok range) always made it.

Pic related: fried sticky rice with chicken and sai ua sausage as well as various aromatics, veg and scrambled egg. Flavoured with fish, soy and oyster sauces.

If you use chicken broth instead of water to boil the rice in and refrigerate the rice at least 3-4 hours before you use it for fried it turns out delicious... just trying to help. That's my suggestion.

>> No.6444032

Qucik question about rice but not exactly fried rice, whats the best way to flavor rice, i've been told to add the flavoring to cold water first, rinse the rice and let it soak in the flavored water for a few hours some people told me 24 hours and some have said put it in the fridge.

This sounds like it would work but what way do you guys normally use, also I tend to cook my rice in a basic rice cooker.

You don't need day old rice as long at it is properly cooled. Here is a recipe that i often use:

4 dl uncooked jasmine rice
150 g bacon/ham/chicken
3 eggs
Cubed carrots and peas
Fish sauce or oyster sauce
Soy sauce
Sesame oil
White pepper
Two cloves of garlic

Directions:
Cook the rice and spread it out on a sheet of baking paper to let it cool. Fry the meat and garlic untill done. Add veggies. Move everything over to one side of the pan and scramble the eggs on the other side.
Mix everything together. Add soy sauce and fish sauce. Add rice. Add more soy sauce and fish sauce to taste and sprinkle some white pepper over it. Finally add the sesame oil.

This recipe is solid but personally, I've never had much luck with fresh rice, even when cooled like that. It sticks together and can get gloopy.

I use jap rice, but I tend to use day old cold rice and a hot pan. Get that bitch to smoking. Throw in rice stir, once you get the aromatic smell of rice throw in your egg, stir like crazy and then throw in sauce and seasoning. Plate.

I guess I see your point, but it's not something I or anyone I know ever does.

It's not like you call Chinese-style fried 'chaofan' and Thai/Lao-style 'khaopad,' or anything, right?
Likewise, they're just 'nasi goreng Fujian/Hokkien' (or 'nasi goreng Kwantung/Kanton' or 'nasi goreng Cina') or "nasi goreng Thai" or "Chinese/Hokkien/Cantonese fried rice" or "Thai fried rice."

It's all either 'fried rice' or 'nasi goreng.' I don't know anyone who says 'chaofan' or 'khaopad.'

you have to use a very hot pan or preferably a wok that is hot enough to smoke the oil you add to it in the beginning. you should be done in very short time. the key is to go hot and fast with fried rice.

For good fried rice, no matter what seasoning you use, the most important aspect is not to "steam" it when you're suppose to be "frying" it.

>know your rice variety
Not all rice cooks the same and the generic rice variety in American supermarket is junk. For every brand you use, you need to know how the rice cooks out with the quantity of water you use. Not all brands of jasmine rice is the same for example.

>cook rice firm
The rice needs to have a firm texture but not to the point where it is al dente and crumbles.

>air your rice
You don't necessarily need day old rice. It just needs to have the excess moisture evaporated. You can lay your rice on a baking sheet and fan it. Fold the rice as you're doing this to keep the top layer from getting to dry.

>high stable heat
A wok is only good if you have a high flame burner. I personally use a cast iron skillet and it works beautifully. Cook in batches relative to the size of your pan so that excess moisture will evaporate quickly and you will get good Maillard reaction.

>I don't know anyone who says 'chaofan' or 'khaopad.'
Those specifically, neither do I. That's because chinese food has been bastardized by american chinese, and thai places have more to offer than just fried rice, which is often in the picky eater section of the menu.

Take satay or kebab, though. Both are simply grilled meat, but are used to distinguish southeast asian and middle eastern varieties.

>> No.6452166

>>6452152
But that's also wrong.
Sate is specifically Indo, not pan-SEA. Thai call it 'yang,' Lao call it 'ping' and Khmer call it 'ahng.' I dunno what other SEAsians call it, though.
