National Fried Rice Day
I heard this mentioned on the news this morning. Funny too as I
planned to make some today anyway. I just now turned off the stove and have made 3 cups rice (cooked) to be used for fried rice later. |

Btw, one recipe I have (from the children's book "Everybody Cooks Rice") calls for cold cooked rice. Whatever for, when you're just going to heat it up again, according to the recipe?

Because the rice dries out and the starch in the rice undergoes retrogradation. This makes for a better fried rice. <https://www.seriouseats.com/2016/02/the-food-lab-how-to-make-best-fried-rice-chinese-thai-wok-technique-right-type-of-rice.html> Cindy Hamilton |

My guess is that nobody picks the 13th of the month as any kind of day - except maybe national bad-luck day. The truth is that you don't have to use old rice to make fried rice. You can use just cooked rice too. That old myth is just something the Chinese say to throw off the white devils. Now you know - please keep that info under your hat. |

I use brown rice for making fried rice all the time. It's already cooked so it's no different from white in terms of the cooking process. For fried rice. Of course the cooking time for cooking both from raw is very different. |

I think he means the cooking process of the fried rice. He did say the rice was already cooked! |

I say somewhat in that I did allow it to cool slightly, if only because I was preparing the other ingredients so it cooled a bit. it worked fine. This was with long grain rice. |

Hawaii loves fried rice. The most popular kind is kim chee fried rice. We eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The kim chee fried rice prepared over here is a little lighter and sweeter than what you'd find on the mainland. I believe that Hawaii style kim chee fried rice would be popular on the mainland but most of the kim chee fried rice served on the mainland would be the hardcore Korean restaurant stuff. We use medium grain rice for fried rice. The Chinese would use long grain rice. My guess is that most of the fried rice on the mainland is made with long grain rice. Fried rice is a very complex subject. |

I guess I have only seen short or long grain rice. |

My guess is that, for practical purposes, they are the same. My guess is that your daughter in China is eating a lot of long grain rice. I don't have a clue why the Chinese favor that stuff. It's almost impossible to eat with chopsticks. The locals here buy short grain rice in 15/20 lb bags. My favorite brand of rice is whatever brand is selling for cheap. My mother-in-law would favor the high priced premium rice. I can't tell the difference but that could be due to the fact that I'm just a commoner-type person. As far as brown rice goes, I'm surprised to see Asians eating the rice that used to be associated with white counter-culture hippy dudes into yoga, macrobiotic diets, and natural living. My son bought some pre-cooked bowls of brown rice. It's okay, I guess. I shouldn't be eating any color of rice anyway. Namaste! |
