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.

The rice will become firmer this way and the grains will separate making for a more authentic fried rice, not mushy fired rice that no one wants.

Another great tip is to grab a couple of containers of rice from your local Chinese take out place and use that instead of making your own rice.

We usually make our own and let it cool but whenever we have leftover rice from getting take out, you can be we’re making fried rice the next day.

The last thing you need to do when you’re making fried rice is to use the right pan, typically a wok. If you don’t have a wok try and use a deep skillet so there’s a lot of surface area to come in contact with the food.

But let’s get back to all that cheesy fried rice…if that’s not a comfort food dinner to you then I don’t know what is. Literally, I could eat this Philly Cheesesteak Fried Rice about once a week.

Like I said before, you can swap out cauliflower rice for regular rice too, so if your following a low carb diet this recipe is going to be a go to on your list.

Can Fried Rice Be Made Ahead Of Time?

Definitely! Make this recipe when you have time and then simply microwave it when you’re ready to eat. Another bonus to making this rice ahead of time is that it’s a lunch or snack that our kids can grab on their own.

Sometimes we even double this recipe just so we have the leftovers – because not much is left after our kids get to this Philly Cheesesteak Rice. Not much at all.
