FRIED RICE:

A very complete and tasty Sino-Mauritian dish that will please your guests!
Hello hello, already a good weekend to all! Many of you have asked me for my fried rice recipe ! For the little explanation, the fried rice Mauritian has nothing to do with the Cantonese rice "French", I say French because here I find that we serve everything and anything in Chinese or Asian restaurants! In addition it is most of the time that frozen and it is far from being good and tasty!

In Mauritius, we are lucky to have a Cantonese heritage and the cuisine is exquisite and full of flavors. It is often a dish that is made when we receive a lot of people at home but I will say that the one we do is not as good as that found in the Sino-Mauritian restaurants . Where you can enjoy a good fried rice in Mauritius is David's restaurant in Rose Hill, The Pekingese .

As for all recipes, I have my way, my tips and the same goes for fried rice, I do what my palace told me to do.

Look at all my photos to understand the proportions. This fried rice is for ten people and if you still have it, know that it keeps very well in the fridge as in the freezer and it is even better the next day as many dishes.

The first thing I do after preparing my ingredients is that I season everything beforehand.

Preparation of fried rice
1- Fried rice seems complicated like that but not at all. What you need to know is that you have to return in a little duck fat and shrimp paste each ingredient and reserve them to finally mix everything at the end. This method allows each food to cook at its own pace and not to mix their taste between them but to preserve each one. See photos below to understand how to proceed.
