Fried Rice

Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes

Fried rice is a dish of cooked rice stir-fried in a wok or frying pan, typically mixed with ingredients such as eggs, vegetables, seafood, or meat, and served as either a main dish or an accompaniment. It first emerged during China's Sui dynasty and later spread worldwide through Chinese diaspora migration, and because it is frequently made at home from leftover ingredients, it has produced many regional variations. Chinese examples include Yangzhou and Hokkien fried rice, Japanese cuisine has chahan, and Southeast Asian cuisines have nasi goreng and khao phat, while Latin American countries have their own versions such as Ecuadorian chaulafan, Peruvian arroz chaufa, Cuban arroz frito, and Puerto Rican arroz mamposteado.
