Part 3/10:
Your choice ultimately comes down to your personal preference. Long-grain rice offers a drier, more separate texture, while medium-grain rice yields a slightly chewier consistency. Notably, several top restaurants have discovered that a blend of American long grain and Thai Jasmine rice results in a superior fried rice thanks to the perfect balance of aroma and texture it provides. If you're feeling adventurous, mix two parts long grain with one part Jasmine to create this winning combination.
