How to Cook Rice for Fried Rice

How to Cook Rice for Fried Riceを成功させるための重要なポイントをまとめします。

The key to perfect fried rice is all about the ratio of water to rice. You want to use about 1 1/4 cups of water for every 1 cup of uncooked rice. This might seem like a small thing, but trust us, it makes all the difference in the world! Using this ratio will give you separate grains of rice that are just begging to be fried.

Now that we've got our rice cooking, let's talk about the type of rice you should be using. Jasmine or Basmati rice are great options because they have a lower starch content, which means they'll stay fluffy and separate even after cooking. And fun fact: did you know that Basmati rice is actually aged for a minimum of 12 months to give it that unique nutty flavor?

While our rice is cooking, let's talk about the importance of cooling it down before frying. You see, when rice is hot, the starches are still active, which means they'll stick together and become a mushy mess when you try to fry them. By cooling the rice down, you're giving the starches time to settle, making it easier to and resulting in a fluffier final product.
