Yangzhou fried rice, also known as Yangzhou fried rice with eggs, is a classic Han snack in Yangzhou, Jiangsu. Originally spread among local people, it is said that it originated from the fried rice with eggs, which Yang Su, the Duke of Yue in Sui Dynasty, loved to eat. When Emperor Yangdi visited Jiangdu (present-day Yangzhou), fried rice with eggs was introduced to Yangzhou. After that, he gradually innovated on behalf of chefs, and softened into Huaiyang cuisine with the characteristics of "strict selection of materials, meticulous production, exquisite processing, attention to color matching and original flavor", which finally developed into one of Huaiyang's famous staple foods.

Yangzhou-style restaurants in Europe, America, Japan, Hong Kong and other places have also listed this delicious food, which is quite popular.

On October 23rd, 215, Yangzhou set a Guinness World Record for 4,192kg of "the largest portion of fried rice", but it was immediately revealed that fried rice was sent to pigs as kitchen waste. On October 26th, the official Weibo, who was certified as a Guinness World Record, announced that the challenge was invalid because of waste.
