CHINA: Fried Rice – Rice on Steroids (Recipe)

CO-AUTHORED POST: This article was co-authored by Joseph Simborio and me. He wrote the article and shared his recipe, while I added the section on the different types of fried rice.

It’s been one of my yearly traditions to partake in some sort of feast during family reunions. This is the time when my extended family gets together and spends the whole day catching up and bonding over potluck food, essentially turning the host’s home into a busy restaurant.

After a successful Mexican-themed party the year prior where my salsa became a hit, I was tasked to hit the kitchen once more and prepare fried rice, particularly of the yang chow or Yangzhou chao fan variety since it was decided our theme was going to be Chinese cuisine this time around.
