Seafood Fried Rice is one of the most traditional dishes ever to be found in any Chinese restaurant or food stall. There are many different variations for it. Some are with salted fish, fresh prawns, scallops, but they all give this wonderful taste to the rice. A simple dish to whip up for the unexpected guest.

  Cook's Tip
 
  • Add sliced or chopped vegetables to make the dish healthier and more appealing.
  • Do not overcooked the prawns for too long as it will turn tough and chewy.
  • Fried rice is best made using long grain rice as the cooked rice will not stick together much as compared to other varieties of rice.
  • My personal standard of rice cooking is like this : 1 person = 1 measuring cup ( 250ml) of rice = 1 cup of water.
  • So for about 3 person's share, 2 1/2 cups of rice + 2 1/2 cups of water.
  • Do not add less water than the amount of rice as the rice will become charred at the bottom of the rice pot.
  • Personal experimentation has brought about that by adding 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the precooked rice will ensure rice that is flufffy and less sticky.
