Yellow Chinese Fried Rice. Chinese fried rice is a family of fried rice dishes popular in Greater China and around the world. It is sometimes served as the penultimate dish in Chinese banquets, just before dessert. Most of the Chinese buffets I go to serve a yellow fried rice that I cant seem to duplicate.

Even the oil they cook it on is delicious. I ate fried rice and it was yellow in color. So, do they put yellow food coloring in the water when cooking the rice? You can have Yellow Chinese Fried Rice using 11 ingredients and 7 steps. Here is how you achieve it.

My local Chinese takeout restaurant has yellow rice and I think somewhere on Chow before someone mentioned it was turmeric. The simplest Chinese fried rice turns out to be the most difficult one!

Yellow Chinese Fried Rice step by step

1. First wash your rice thoroughly.
2. Then cook rice normally add all the ingredients except for the onion, green onion, and meat.
3. After the rice is done cooking allow it to cool to room temperature.
4. In a wok or large skillet medium high heat add 2 tablespoons of oil and cook onions for about a 1-2 minutes.
5. Next add in meat of choice and continue to move food around so it won't stick to pan.
6. Next add in yellow rice and continue to mix and move around.

However, it is worth to add some good. Traditionally Chinese fried rice is typically brown unless it's a curried fried rice or house special fried rice. But it's the curry powder which in turn contains TURMERIC. It's not saffron, it's plain old turmeric that gives a yellow color with no extra flavor really. Here is fried rice that is both delicious and healthy.
