This week we’ll dive into fried rice. It was first developed during the Sui Dynasty (581–618) in China and as such all fried rice dishes can trace their origins to Chinese fried rice. It is a popular component of many Southeast Asian cuisines.

Fried rice is a dish of cooked rice that has been stir-fried and is usually mixed with other ingredients (often left over from other dishes) such as eggs, vegetables, seafood, or meat. Let’s get to it and cook up a delicious fried rice of your own.
