$242 vs $13 Fried Rice: Pro Chef & Home Cook Swap Ingredients | Epicurious
While I love bread (baking it and eating it) rice is in my soul. I’m not ashamed to say that I have no problem finishing a 25-pound bag by myself. Needless to say there’s almost always cooked rice in my fridge. Often I’ll just steam it up for a salmon rice bowl or bibimbap. Other times I’ll make fried rice with whatever I have on hand (roast duck BBQ pork or chunks from the crisper drawer).
Making good flavorful fried rice is as much about technique as it is about ingredients. Leftover rice is ideal but as long as your rice is sufficiently chilled the freshly cooked variety works just as well. There are also ways to compensate for the lack of high BTUs in home kitchens such as using a kitchen torch to achieve the smoky aroma and flavor of classic wok hei and cooking the rice in smaller batches to prevent clumping. Whether you’re craving a restaurant-style shrimp fried rice omelette with Japanese omurice or a flavorful nasi goreng we’ve got recipes to transform cooked rice leftover or fresh into a craveable comfort food you can make morning noon or night.
