Delicious Asian-style fried rice with Sona Masoori rice…
Fried rice is a popular and versatile dish that can be made with different types of rice, including Sona Masoori rice.
Sona Masoori rice is a medium-grain rice variety widely used in Indian and Southeast Asian cuisine. It is known for its fragrant aroma, delicate texture, and ability to absorb flavors well.
When I have leftover Sona Masoori, I make this fried rice with it & have it for dinner or the next day’s lunch. This can be served along with baked, grilled, or pan-fried chicken, salmon or steak. Flavorful, filling & absolutely delicious.
