Common mistakes
What to avoid
- 1Using fresh rice for fried rice. Day-old chilled rice is essential, otherwise mushy.
- 2Stirring constantly. Rice needs to sit on the heat to develop a crust at the bottom.
- 3Wrong rice variety. Long-grain stays separate; short-grain clumps. Basmati for jollof, never sticky-rice grades.
