Description

Yangzhou fried rice (扬州炒饭, yang zhou chao fan) is considered the gold standard of Chinese fried rice — a preparation of day-old jasmine rice stir-fried with egg, small prawns, diced char siu, ham, green peas, scallion, and a variety of finely diced vegetables, each component added in precise sequence to achieve the perfect texture of each ingredient while the rice develops the wok hei. It is defined by its restraint and precision rather than heavy seasoning — the rice should taste clean, fresh, and vibrant, with each component distinct.
