Fried rice

Chicken fried rice is a popular dish consisting of cooked rice stir-fried in a wok or frying pan and mixed with diced chicken, vegetables, scrambled eggs, and various condiments. It is a staple of Chinese cuisine and has since become a common dish in many other cultures, often served as a side dish or a main course. The dish is known for its versatility, as it can be made with a variety of ingredients depending on regional preferences and availability. In Hebrew, it is called אורז מטוגן עם עוף (oriz metugan im of). In Japanese, it is referred to as チキンチャーハン (chikin chāhan), and in Korean, it is called 치킨 볶음밥 (chikin bokkeumbap). The key to making chicken fried rice lies in using day-old rice, which has a lower moisture content and thus fries better. The dish is typically seasoned with soy sauce, sesame oil, and sometimes oyster sauce, giving it a savory and slightly umami flavor. Chicken fried rice is often garnished with green onions and served hot.
