HOW TO USE RICE FOR FRYING

When making stir fry or any hot rice dish always using rice, make sure to cook it the day before and let it be good and cold before adding it to any type of Chinese dish. If making fried rice make sure it is cold so the rice will flake and not be googy and sticky when adding it to hot oil.

Sesame oil is always the best to use when making Chinese dishes. But be sure to always just use a little as it goes a very long way.
