Whats the secret with chinese rice?!!?
It might be the rice itself or how they prepare or make the rice. Basically a strain of rice might be softer or harder based on the brand they buy. Rice can come from the U.S., Thailand, China, Vietnam or other regions of the world. They can be harvested differently and the strain they grow might be different. They might also cook it differently, most Chinese retaurants cook their rice in large rice cookers/steamers. The amount of water and how long you cook it also makes a difference. It affects the texture of the rice. Then when they fry it, they throw it in their higher heat stoves. Then as they fry it they might add oil or seasonings. The truth is not ALL sterotypes about Chinese restaurants adding MSG to food are true, only a few. There are many Chinese restaurants that don’t add MSG to the food, but then there are which caused the rumor to go around that made people think all Chinese restaurants do.
