Can I have egg Fried Rice with mixed rice

Mixed rice can be used as egg Fried Rice, but the taste, digestion and absorption will be affected. Due to insufficient starch gelatinization, undercooked rice has a hard texture and may clump or loosen unevenly when combined with egg mixture.

The starch of the sandwich rice is not completely gelatinized, and the direct application of the starch in the egg Fried Rice will cause the center of the rice grains to harden. When the rice is stir fried at high temperature, the water evaporation is more obvious, and the finished product is easy to dry and harden. The egg liquid wrapping effect is poor, and there may be a layering phenomenon of eggs returning to eggs and rice returning to rice. If the rice is only slightly undercooked, it can be remedied by extending the stir fry time over medium to low heat. Before stir frying, use a spoon to disperse the clumped rice, and quickly spread it after pouring egg mixture to help bond. The use of overnight refrigerated undercooked rice has a slightly better effect, as low temperatures can cause some starch to retrogradation and increase viscosity when reheated. Fully cooked rice starch is fully gelatinized, the rice grains are soft and elastic, and the egg mixture can evenly adhere to form a golden coating. When stir frying cooked rice, it is easy to disperse and the moisture is kept moderate. The finished product has a fluffy and oily texture. If using a rice cooker to cook new rice, it is recommended to take it out half an hour in advance and let the surface moisture evaporate to avoid sticking to the pan during stir frying. For people with weak digestive function, Fried Rice made of cooked rice is easier to be broken down and absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract.

It is recommended to use cooked rice that is refrigerated overnight to make egg Fried Rice. The rice grains are clear and the water content is moderate. Before stir frying, knead the rice and stir fry the eggs until they solidify before serving. Then stir fry the rice until the grains are distinct, and finally mix and stir fry. It can be paired with vegetables such as diced carrots and green beans to increase nutrition, and sprinkled with chopped green onions before cooking to enhance fragrance. If you find rice undercooked, you can add a small amount of hot water and simmer for a few minutes before stir frying. People with gastrointestinal sensitivity should ensure that the rice is fully cooked to avoid adding undercooked rice to increase digestion burden.
