Tips For Making The Best Fried Rice

There are a few tips for making really delicious tasting fried rice at home. One is to make the rice ahead of time and let it cool in the refrigerator.

This is a really important step because the rice will become firmer and the grains will separate, making for a more authentic fried rice. No mushy fried rice on our watch.

Another great tip for making fried rice is that you can also grab a couple of containers of rice from your local Chinese take out place!

It’s really inexpensive, for just a couple of bucks you have enough rice to make a few batches of this Corned Beef and Cabbage Fried Rice!

Also, whenever we order Chinese food there’s always leftover white rice sitting in the refrigerator the next day, so use it up and make some friend rice!
