I love Asian cuisine – whether Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese or Thai: I really enjoy eating in Asian restaurants and trying new things. What I like to order: fried rice. Fried rice is often served as an accompaniment to other dishes, but it is also a fabulous main dish. This fried rice makes a great main course for four people. However, it can also be served as part of an Asian tavolata, in which case there would be enough for eight people. I like to make fried rice with sushi rice because the rice grain is smaller, rounder and less likely to break, but basmati rice or jasmine rice also work well.
