The Ultimate Tip to Cooking Excellent Egg and Garlic Fried Rice
It is always a good idea to use leftover rice from the other day that has been kept in the refrigerator for at least 5-6 hours. This is because, since the egg fried rice recipe is typically cooked over high heat, the rice must be adequately heat-tolerant for every grain to be separate and fluffy after cooking.
In the case of just-boiled and fresh rice, stir-frying on high-medium heat could turn it mushy, soggy, and sticky, since the rice will already have too much moisture. This is something that messes with the taste and texture of the egg and garlic fried rice recipe.
In the case of leftover rice, it typically loses its moisture by the time it is kept in the refrigerator and is more heat-tolerant than freshly-steamed rice. The ideal egg and garlic fried rice is fluffy, with just the right amount of zing and egginess, and every grain of rice is separate, and leftover rice lets you enjoy that.
