Egg Fried Rice – An Easy Chinese Recipe.
Egg fried rice. Deceptively simple, but a huge favorite and crowd-pleaser. My egg fried rice recipe uses egg that’s slightly flavored with turmeric and paprika, which I think is a unique addition. It adds color to the dish, making it a vibrant yellow. (If you’re used to a Chinese takeout place that makes their fried rice yellow, you can be sure they were probably using food coloring. Using turmeric gets you that same color at home with a natural ingredient.)

Basic Recipe for Fried Rice
This is a basic recipe for fried rice that you can add to as desired. Serve it as a side with leftover vegetables mixed in, or serve it as a main dish with barbecued pork, chicken, and/or shrimp. Once you have this basic recipe mastered, you can feel free to adjust to suit your needs. We do recommend, though, that you increase the number of eggs from 2 to 3 if you do add more ingredients, just to make sure that the ratio of the egg-to-rice mixture is well-balanced.
What Type of Rice is Used for Fried Rice?
Fried rice can be made with a white or brown rice. For white rice, both Jasmine and Basmati rice are popular.
Because I wanted to make a healthy version, I used brown rice, which is whole grain, meaning it’s higher in protein, fiber, and nutrients than white rice. The flavor of the brown rice is ultra-subtle. You won’t notice the swap.
Whichever color of rice you choose, the best rice for fried rice is leftover, COLD rice. Cold rice works better because it helps dry the rice a little and keeps the fried rice from becoming soggy.
