Default fried rice in Serbia

The UnInmate wrote:

It appears that fried rice existed in traditional Serbian cooking long
before Oriental influences made it famous worldwide.

A woman preparing the traditional fusion dish stuffed peppers sauteed some
chopped onion in oil, then added a cup of dry washed rice with chopped
garlic and continued to sautee the mixture for some time before adding
other ingredients, including ground beef and water.

She said she starting using this technique before she'd even heard of
China. "It's what I learned as a little girl back in the village."


In that anecdote, where is the evidence that the Serbs made fried rice
before the Chinese? Is the woman several thousand years old? And doesn't the
writer know that fried rice starts off with COOKED rice?

It appears that someone lacks both culinary knowledge and logical skills.
