Tips

Hello Elaine , hope you are doing well , and thanks for all the wonderful recipes . I would like to ask for a few tips on making the perfect fried rice . I have made different fried rice many a time , but have failed to reproduce the best I have had in a famous Chinese restaurant ( it is 5 star btw ) in our place . Unlike the texture of the rice in my recipe which tend to get a bit more on the fried side , the rice is very light and fluffy and does not seemed to be cooked under high heat ( which more or less is the norm while cooking fried rice ) . Any tips on how to get the texture , also what is the best kind of rice to use for cooking fried rice , I think that plays the most crucial role and I have never been able to get hold of the proper rice type .
