Chinese Fried Rice

Chinese Fried Rice (pronunciation: /ˈtʃaɪˌniːz fraɪd raɪs/) is a popular dish in Chinese cuisine that is made from steamed rice that has been stir-fried in a wok, often with other ingredients, such as eggs, vegetables, and meat. It is sometimes served as the penultimate dish in Chinese banquets, just before dessert.

Etymology

The term "Chinese Fried Rice" is derived from the Mandarin words "chǎofàn" (炒饭), with "chǎo" (炒) meaning "stir-fried" or "sautéed" and "fàn" (饭) meaning "rice".

  • Vegetables: Common vegetables include peas, carrots, and onions.
  • Meat: This can include chicken, pork, beef, or shrimp. Vegetarian or vegan versions may omit this ingredient.
