4. Toasted Sesame Oil
Toasted sesame oil is something that you absolutely must use in your fried rice recipe. This is an oil that is going to give your rice the flavor that you desire. It smells great and is an absolute game-changer when it comes to making fried rice. When using sesame oil one of the most important things to remember is that this is not a cooking oil. You do not want to put it in the pan first and try to cook the ingredients in the sesame oil.
Instead, you will want to remove the food from the heat and then add the sesame oil into the ingredients and stir it in. This will provide you with the flavor that you are looking for. If you try to cook the veggies and rice in the sesame oil you are going to discover that it will taste almost burnt, so remember to remove it from the heat before adding the oil.
