Do You Cook White Rice Before You Fry It?
Generally, yes, white rice is precooked before it is fried. Precooking helps to ensure that the rice cooks evenly and doesn’t turn out crunchy or undercooked. However, some fried rice recipes utilize leftover cooked rice, which has already been precooked. It’s important to follow the recipe and instructions carefully to ensure that the fried rice turns out delicious.
