"A large, deep frying pan or skillet will work just as well. The key is to have a large surface area to cook ingredients quickly over high heat."

Ingredients

rice 150 g

Directions

1.Steam the rice

Add the rice to a metal strainer and rinse the starches under water. Ensure the water has completely drained to minimize excess moisture. Add the rinsed rice in a saucepan with the measured amount of water and cover with a lid. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiled, turn off the heat, remove the lid, place a kitchen towel over top, and place the lid back on. Let the rice steam off the heat for 15 to 20 minutes. If the water hasn't fully absorbed, you can put it back on low heat for a few minutes to finish cooking. Once done, spread on a plate to let excess steam escape. Note: Rice can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge, which also improves its texture during stir-frying.
