Classic Hong Kong Cha Chaan Teng Fried Rice
Step 1
Prepare the rice
Place the cold day-old rice in a large bowl. Using slightly wet hands, gently rub the rice grains together to break apart any large clumps into individual grains.
⏱ 2 minutes🔥 Room temperature
Cues: Rice should be entirely loose with no clumps larger than a marble.
Tip: Breaking the rice beforehand ensures you don't overwork and mash the grains in the wok.
