I recently just learned that when you make egg fried rice, you must add the egg first then the rice, anyone know why?
Thanks.
I dont do it that way. I sauté the rice first. I use a wok and push the rice out of the way. I then add the egg and then the peas
I do the eggs separately. Not sure why eggs with rice but maybe to save time? :)
Mostly because if you add the eggs after the rice (right in them) they will soak up the rice and make a terrible consistency. I did that with my ex boyfriend in college and we still joke about that to this very day!!!!!!!!!!
I don't put eggs in fried rice since I don't eat eggs.
