My firehouse fried rice improved when I stopped washing the grains
I make big batches of fried rice for the crew after calls. I used to rinse the rice like everyone says, but one time I was in a hurry and skipped it. The rice stuck together just right and soaked up the sauce better. Most chefs will tell you to rinse to keep it separate, but I think that's wrong for this dish. Now I always cook it straight from the bag, and the guys ask for seconds every time.
