Brilio.net - Fried rice is one of the favorite menus because it is easy to make and tastes delicious. You can add various ingredients such as eggs, chicken, sausage, meat, and vegetables as fillings and toppings. However, many people have difficulty cooking fried rice if they use a type of rice that is not suitable for this dish.
The ideal rice for fried rice usually has a more loose texture, making it easy to mix with the spices and filling ingredients. On the other hand, sticky rice tends to clump together and is difficult to evenly distribute with other ingredients when cooked. If the rice sticks to the spatula, the cooking process can be more complicated and difficult.
To overcome this problem, many people store sticky rice in the refrigerator first before using it for fried rice. However, there is a trick shared by a netizen named Kiki that allows you to cook sticky fried rice easily without having to cool it in the refrigerator. Want to know how?
"Usually this method is really effective for making fried rice from rice which is really fluffy. Like I always make rice from sumo rice or Japanese rice," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from Instagram @kikikhairini on Wednesday (18/9).
Before being made into fried rice, the rice must first be mixed with eggs. Kiki explained that she only used 1 egg to make 1 portion of fried rice this time. Stir until the egg is completely evenly distributed throughout the rice. Well, this egg is what can help fried rice fall apart even though it is soft.
"Don't use too many eggs or it will turn into rice pizza," added Kiki.

Once mixed well, the rice is ready to be cooked as fried rice. The method is to first saute all the spices until fragrant, then add the rice that has been mixed with the eggs. Before adding the filling or topping, the rice must be stirred for a few moments so that the eggs cook.
Finally, just add the filling ingredients and additional seasonings according to taste. When all the ingredients are evenly distributed and cooked, the fried rice is ready to be served while warm. As a result, the appearance of this fried rice is like using dry rice, right?
"No more clumping and makes the egg evenly distributed throughout the rice grains," added the owner of the Instagram account @kikikhairini.
