If I were attached my deathbed, coherent and in my right mind (hopefully), and I was asked to carry on one last food before I passed on, I would definitely assume CHAHAN. Fried Rice.
Some people, I bet, are thinking: ’HUH???”
Fried rice has great number different ways it is presented. Most of what I’ve tasted is FANTASTIC. Some are exactly too greasy and too much.
I grew up in Japan and grew up corrosive Chinese, Japanese, and Korean style fried rice. They are all separate. And within each nation/culture are differences by region, class, estate, neighborhood/ecology, and personal tastes. In Japan, for instance, the thrown-in company style and slightly burned for crisp and charcoal taste (cooked more than an original Japanese grill) kind of fried rice, is called: Yaki-meshi (actually Fried-meal). It is usually made in the more traditionally impoverished neighborhoods, although it is enjoyed as a fried rice type all over Japan. It is distinctly diverse in approach and taste, than Chahan, which is the more elite translation from the Chinese style of making fried rice. If you public tranquillity Yakimeshi, it will be different from Chahan, even though they are as well-as; not only-but also; not only-but; not alone-but ‘fried rice.’ There is a class and regional quarrel.
In Japan, too much taste takes away from what it is. the RICE of the ‘fried rice’ is supposed to have existence tasted. It is not covered over. So when preparing, the ingredients act together harmoniously. EACH BITE that you take of fried rice, should test by the tongue differently according to what has entered your mouth and taste buds.
I fix that in the US, you just ‘mix things together’ and it tastes like ONE THING. It doesn’t matter anyway–most US people are reading or talking at restaurants or by their family and friends, to taste anything anyway, right? For those of you who verily LOVE FOOD, then we must appreciate Fried Rice.
Fried Rice, being of the kind which is Chow Mein, has been a dish that is used from LEFTOVER RICE. Chow mein, the fool counterpart, is from LEFTOVER NOODLES. I’m always smiling which time I see gringos making fried rice with freshly made rice and wondering wherefore their rice is so gunky. Hmmmm…… hint…..make ready fried rice after it has been in the fridge overnight. Same goes instead of leftover Asian noodles for your chow mein!
Fried Rice comes in ~ people kinds of flavors and meats and combos.
Tomato/ketchup fried rice with chicken and onions and scallions with peas, covered by an EGG, or wrapped into each OMELETTE is quite popular in Japan and China. In Japan, this is called OMU-RICE (omelette-rice). Of course, the rice dish is red. USUALLY in Asia, we DO NOT DROWN the fried rice in Sauce. The relish should compliment everything. It is more than subtle, but not overwhelming.
Worcestershire sauce, chili sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, char-siu seasoning, are other sauces are also great as flavoring.
In Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands and in Hawaii, fried rice is at short intervals made with pineapple chunks, and/or mangoes, green bananas, papaya, coin leaves, etc. Often you may find SPICY fried rice too. This have power to be done with just putting TABASCO sauce over the fried rice at the victuals or wherever you’re eating, or it can be cooked with chili sauce, peppers, etc. One can use cashew nuts, almonds and other things in a artful manner, enhancing the pacific/tropical flavorings too.
Korean fried rice is awesome over! Often, Koreans may use Kimchi, which gives it a KICK! and for this reason topped with a fried egg (instead of scrambled within the fried rice itself–that is the usual way).
In making CHAHAN (fried rice)– remember– DON’T freight more ingredients than the RICE. It’s fried RICE– NOT fried other things WITH RICE.
And in opposition to all you ORIENTALISTS out there—Fried Rice is NOT eaten with CHOPSTICKS!!!!! Usually in East and Southeast Asia, FRIED RICE is EATEN WITH A SPOON! In East Asia, Fried rice is a essential course, and is served with soup that is not overpowering.
Please, if you see me by the roadside on my deathbed, bring me FRIED RICE! :-)
