As we all know, fried rice is a kind of common food. It is cooked in many ways, tastes rich, tastes fragrant and delicious, and is very popular among people. Many people will often eat fried rice. Some people's fried rice will be sticky and taste uncomfortable. Then why is fried rice sticky? Let's take a look at it in detail! Why fried rice is sticky

Egg fried rice is sticky, has no egg smell, and even has a fishy smell. Basically, it may be caused by two operations:

First, it is easy to stick when fried with steamed rice;

Secondly, if the egg liquid is directly poured into the rice, it will become sticky easily and may even smell fishy.

in a word, it is caused by too much water, which will lead to the temperature not reaching the expected effect. If there is more water, it will always evaporate, so the temperature will never rise with the evaporation of water, the natural burnt flavor will not come out, and the fishy smell of the egg itself may not go away.

so this is why "it is better to use overnight rice for fried rice with eggs" has become a generally accepted view, because overnight rice has less relative moisture and is drier, and after being cooled, the rice will have a better elastic taste, instead of the fragrant and soft feeling of being steamed now, which is more suitable for fried rice, especially with ingredients such as egg liquid. How to cook fried rice won't be sticky. 1. Egg fried rice is not sticky, and rice is the key. < P > On the Internet, you can see many posts saying that it is best to cook egg fried rice with overnight rice, but in fact, I have tried it myself, and the egg fried rice cooked with overnight rice will also be sticky, so it's not a matter of not staying overnight, but a matter of cooking methods and rice selection.

① Correct selection of rice-I choose the combination form of rice and brown rice, each accounting for 5%, and the water content of brown rice is relatively small, so the fried rice will be in a distinct state, but brown rice is harder than rice, and the taste and fragrance will be much worse if all brown rice is used, so it is necessary to add 5% rice to cook together.

② Cook rice correctly-electric cookers are used at home now. If rice is used for fried rice, when cooking, you need less water than usual. Just don't eat a little rice. After cooking, open the lid and let it cool. (Tips: each kind of rice cooker may have different effects. We use Supor ball kettle at home, and the water quantity is just right. You can test it according to the situation of your own rice cooker, and the cooked rice can be slightly harder.) 2. The fried rice with eggs is not sticky, and the order of frying is also very important.

① First, break the egg liquid into a bowl and put a little cooking wine to remove the smell. Add a little salt to taste

② Diced carrots and peas are blanched for later use (warm reminder: vegetables can be put as you like)

③ Boil the pan, put oil in it, stir-fry the egg liquid quickly, then add vegetables and continue to stir-fry, until their water is slightly dry, turn off the fire, add rice, then poke the rice with a spoon, then fire and stir-fry it with high fire. (Reminder: when cooking rice, you need to turn off the fire first, then stir-fry the rice with a big fire, so as to avoid a lot of hot air coming up while poking the rice, which I saw a professional chef share and tried several times, which is true.) The key to how to avoid the sticky fried rice

and make the egg fried rice not sticky lies in:

① The water content of the rice used is lower.

② It's best not to pour the egg liquid directly on the rice. Although the color is beautiful, the egg flower and the rice stick together more closely, the heat is not easy to control, and it will dry if it is fried for a long time. If it is not fried enough, the rice will be sticky and may smell like egg liquid. How to make the egg fried rice with distinct grains

1. The key point is "choosing rice": not whether to choose "overnight rice", but not to use too wet and sticky rice.

I believe everyone has heard that if fried rice with eggs is delicious, it should be fried with overnight rice, which is the crystallization of predecessors' wisdom. Why is there such a thing as "overnight rice"? Because the freshly steamed rice is not suitable for fried rice, because it contains more water, and it will easily stick together. However, after overnight, the water in the "overnight rice" volatilizes, and the surface of the rice grains is dry and the water is very little. This kind of rice is most suitable for fried rice with eggs. Therefore, "choosing rice" is an important step for egg fried rice. If you choose the right rice, you will be half the battle.

2. It will be better if the rice needs advanced treatment

(1) If the rice is really sticky, it can be put in the refrigerator for several hours to allow its moisture to fully evaporate;

(2) If you don't want to use leftovers, stir-fry them immediately, then the steamed rice should be spread out with a shovel to let the water vapor in the rice fully evaporate. You can also add some salt to the rice to make it absorb water more fully.
