Best Chicken Fried Rice (Tips)

Soak the rice. If you have time, soak rice for 30 min. I tested this recipe with the soaked rice. If you donโ€™t have time and plan to skip soaking rice before cooking, increase the cooking time and cook rice 5 min.

Rinse rice until the water runs almost clear. It will remove excess starch and make rice fluffy and less sticky.

Use long-grain basmati rice or jasmine rice. There is not a one-size-fits-all cooking method for different types of rice. Other rice varieties can produce mushier fried rice. I strongly recommend to use good quality basmati or jasmine rice. They are best suited for this recipe.
