Yangzhou fried rice Yangzhou fried rice is a kind of fried rice in China. It is named after Yangzhou, but it does not originate from Yangzhou.

In fact, Yangzhou fried rice originated in Guangzhou during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. It was later developed in Hong Kong, China, and then spread to various parts of China, producing many variations.

In 2005, Yangzhou applied for patent registration for its developed production method. As the authentic method of Yangzhou fried rice, it attracted criticism from the public.

In Guangzhou during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a Huaiyang restaurant called Juchunyuan that made a "Yangzhou crispy rice" dish with shrimp, barbecued pork and sea cucumber.

Later, some restaurants changed the crispy rice into fried rice and named it Yangzhou fried rice, and the name of Yangzhou fried rice spread widely.

With the development of the times, due to the high price of sea cucumber, it was gradually eliminated from the Yangzhou fried rice recipe.
