Brown Rice

Brown rice is whole-grain rice with a chewy texture and nutty flavor. For fried rice, cooked rice works best after it has been chilled so the grains separate easily.

Cooked and chilled

Cold rice fries more cleanly.

Fresh rice can be soft and sticky in a hot pan. Chilled rice is firmer, so it can heat through while keeping separate grains.
