From China to the world

by Magaly Chin

Fried rice is probably the best known Chinese dish. It’s made with steamed rice stir-fried in a wok mixed with other ingredients such as egg, vegetables and meat. The list of ingredients usually varies from country to country. This dish originated from China and from there it reached most countries in Asia, the Western countries and even some in Africa. Also it is very common to find fried rice in any Chinese banquet but when it is consumed as a homemade dish it is mostly made with leftovers. However, it’s not considered a Chinese everyday dish.


Due to the changing recipe on each country, fried rice has different presentations. For example, Muslim countries have created a vegetarian option using egg fried rice and in Indonesia is a spicy dish called “nasi goreng”. In the US it is considered as fast food and in South America, each country has its own variation, but the most remarkable is the Chinese Peruvian version called “chaufa”.
