Recipe Tips
Need a few tips to make the best fried rice yet? Jasmine rice tends to be the best type of rice to use for any type of fried rice. Because these grains cook fluffy and separate, they are perfect for this type of dish.
If you have time to prepare in advance, you should cook the rice a day in advance and let it chill in the fridge overnight. While you can still make delicious fried rice with freshly cooked grains, you will achieve the tastiest results using day-old rice. This is because the rice has had time to dry out and this makes it perfect for cooking to a slight crisp and for better absorbing all of the flavors in the dish.
For dessert, we recommend you give a try to this delicious recipe for Arroz con Leche without condensed milk.
