Use cooked rice cooled to room temperature for
fry rice. Freshly
cooked rice is not suitable, as the grains will stick together, and the
dish becomes marshy and unmanageable..

To cook rice without using rice cooker
This method of cooking rice has an advantage over
the fire method. The rice will not get
burnt. The disadvantage is that it is not
so effective for cooking big amount of rice.
Put rice in a bowl. Add water just enough to cover the rice, or 2 part
of rice to 1 part of water. This method needs less water
than the normal rice cooker way as steam will be added to the rice
during steaming.
Steam the rice over
high heat for 30 minutes. Let stand for 30 minutes to allow the whole
rice to get
fully cooked.
