Fried rice

Fried rice is a dish of cooked rice that has been stir-fried in a wok or frying pan and is usually mixed with other ingredients such as eggs, vegetables, seafood, or meat. It is a common dish in numerous Asian cuisines, as well as other parts of the world. The rice used is often day-old rice, as it produces more distinct grains and is less likely to become soggy. The dish is known as arroz frito in Spanish, riz frit in Catalan, riz gras in French, and chǎofàn (炒饭) in Chinese. In Hebrew, it is called אורז מטוגן (oriz metugan). Fried rice is often served as a side dish or as a main course, and it is a popular choice for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a common dish in Chinese restaurants around the world, where it is often served as a simple, inexpensive, and versatile meal.
