I have been trying to make a light fried rice and have been using
Basmati but having cooked it by boiling i then leave to cool and drain
and when frying with the addition of shrimp, egg etc it tends to turn
to mush. Question is is there a better rice to use. I dont like
typical american long grain as it is too heavy.
Any ideas please.




Any rice will do, but boil/microwave it, fluff it up and place on some
paper towel on a flat tray. Spread it out to cover the tray and then cover
with more paper towel. Place in the fridge for minimum 24 hours. Several
days is good.
That dries it out and makes it perfect for stir frying.

I have some drying in the fridge as we speak :-)
