Since I switched to brown rice, I haven't really gotten enough leftover rice for fried rice. Or I mixed it with the take away leftover white rice for my fried rice. Today, I finally get to try the 100% brown rice fried rice as according to one of my readers, the brown rice made good fried rice. The brown rice that I got in the Asian store was of high quality short grain variety. I was lucky enough to receive some BBQ pork from a friend which made my fried rice extra special. I added minced ginger, dried shrimps and "lap cheong" (Chinese sausage) and I tell you these combination made a good fried rice.
I can tell you the brown rice makes good fried rice too. Even though I found it on the wet side, I guess we used more water to cook the brown rice, also brown rice has more moisture compared to white rice. It tasted different and I liked it, a bit like eating the stir-fried glutinous rice in the dim sum shop. Why don't you give it a try too? Don't you love my colorful creation?
