One of the most popular and delicious Chinese recipes is shrimp fried rice. In the past, I have posted a couple fried rice recipes – egg fried rice and chicken fried rice. In these articles, I have shared various tips on how to make delicious fried rice. In this article, I will share a few more. A key ingredient to fried rice is a fish sauce or oyster sauce. These items can be easily found in the Asian section of your local grocery store or super Wal-Mart. The most important tips to making great fried rice are using leftover rice that is at least one day old. Also, fried rice is something that you want to adjust the ingredients to your taste. I prefer a lot of garlic and soy sauce in mine. Instead of adding the egg to the pan with the rice, I usually cook and scramble it in a separate pan. With a little practice and these tips, you will be making amazing fried rice in no time. Enjoy.
