History<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fried rice originated in China more than 1,500 years ago during the Sui Dynasty. It was created as a practical way to use leftover rice and ingredients. Over time, fried rice spread throughout Asia and the rest of the world, with countless regional variations featuring chicken, shrimp, vegetables and different seasonings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tips<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use day-old rice for the best texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cook the eggs separately to keep them soft and fluffy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Avoid overcrowding the pan so the ingredients fry instead of steam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adjust the soy sauce according to your taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Add shrimp, beef or extra vegetables for variety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
