2. Spanish mixed fried rice
Commonly used Spanish rice are: Bomba, Bahia and Senia, among which Bomba is also called Valencia rice, which is relatively suitable for paella. This kind of rice is short and small, with low starch content and excellent water absorption. The cooked rice grains are full and distinct.
