Sometimes, you want that slightly crispy bottom. The kind that makes fried rice sing. Grab a non-stick pan – or a well-seasoned wok if you’re feeling like a pro.
Add a splash of water – maybe a tablespoon. Don’t use oil yet. Toss the rice in, cover the pan with a lid, and set the heat to low. Let it steam for about two minutes.
Then, take off the lid. Add a tiny bit of butter or oil, turn the heat up, and stir-fry for thirty seconds. You’ll get fluffy grains with a whisper of crunch. It’s perfect.
