Description
A takeaway classic, egg fried rice is a quick, easy, and satisfying dish. The key to great fried rice is using day-old, cold cooked rice, which is drier and less likely to clump together. It's a versatile dish that can be a simple side or a main meal with the addition of more vegetables or protein.
A Taste of History
Egg fried rice is believed to have originated in the city of Yangzhou in eastern China during the Sui dynasty (589–618 AD). It was created as a way to use leftover rice and other ingredients. The dish has since become a staple of Chinese cuisine and is popular in restaurants and homes all over the world, with countless regional variations.
