Best Chicken Fried Rice Recipe Restaurant Style

Chicken Fried Rice is one of the flavored rice recipes made with chicken and egg as the main ingredients. To add extra flavor we can even add a few veggies but in a small quantity.

Many of us are confused with the flavor of homemade chicken fried rice and restaurant or street. The secret behind it is that they are made in large iron vessels. Usually, these vessels are used for many years and they are not clean for each use.

As you have observed, many restaurants use basmati rice as it not only gives a soft texture with large grains but also gives essence and aroma. Also, basmati rice tends to absorb the flavors of spices.

Usually, homemade chicken fried rice is either made on small vessels or non-stick pans and the amount of flame is also lower when compared to street style or restaurants. It is very important to cook on a high flame when all spices and sauces are added for a few seconds.

To make this recipe more nutritious we can add cabbage, onions, capsicum, French beans and carrots. As this variation demands more non-veg we need to add them in small quantity. Carrots and capsicum need to be sliced into thin pieces.

TIPS to make perfect Chicken Fried Rice Recipe:

• As this is not a curry and chicken chunks give flavor, avoid using bony meat.
• When cutting meat, make small pieces so that it absorbs spices and gives its flavor on each bite.
• Rice plays an important role, if using normal rice then it’s better to use leftover rice or one-day-old rice.
• You might have wondered why restaurants and hotels use basmati rice; they usually give additional flavor as basmati rice absorbs spices than normal rice.
• If you do not have cooked rice, then try to remove starch and put a little oil while cooking so that it becomes non-sticky and grainy.
• Cut chicken into small pieces and marinate for at least an hour so that pieces absorb spices.
• If you have spring onions then try to add them as they give added flavor.
• When made with leftover rice, sprinkle a little salt on the rice and mix well so that salt can be spread evenly.
