Experienced chef’s secret tip: A foolproof recipe for perfect fluffy and fragrant rice that everyone will rave about

With easy-to-prepare ingredients and a simple cooking method, fried rice is always known as the “national dish” in the hearts of many people. The delicious and nutritious taste of fried rice is suitable for both adults and children. By combining with different ingredients, you can create many delicious dishes such as mixed fried rice, beef and pickle fried rice, sausage fried rice… and the most familiar one is egg fried rice.

When making egg fried rice, most people usually fry the rice first in the pan and then add the eggs. However, there are also many people who choose to fry the eggs first and then add the rice. Although both are egg fried rice, the order of adding ingredients will give the dish a completely different taste.

Experienced chefs say that frying the eggs first will make the eggs more fragrant and flavorful, but it will separate the rice and eggs. On the other hand, if you fry the rice first and then pour the eggs in, the taste of the eggs will not be as prominent, but the rice grains will be fluffy and covered with a shiny, beautiful layer of golden eggs.

Depending on your taste and habits, you can make fried rice in different ways. Regardless of the frying method, the dish is always delicious and nutritious. However, if you want the rice grains to be shiny, golden, and visually appealing, you should fry the eggs first and then stir-fry the rice evenly.
