Pouched Fried Rice, Organic Red Rice Fried Rice

I guess everyone love fried rice. I can eat Fried Rice everyday for breakfast, lunch, dinner and even supper. It is simply delicious! The first time I attempted to Fried Rice my own was 18 and my parents went to Bukit Mertajam (大山脚), and I cooked for my three brothers. Brief introduction, Bukit Mertajam is a small town located in Butterworth, mainland, Penang. 

To get a prefect Fried Rice, remember always use chilled left-over rice. Cook the rice one day before. Keep the rice in the refrigerator to dry out a bit. To much moisture in the rice will make it heavy mess in the pan. Do not constantly poking at the rice, the grains will break and release too much starch and turn the entire thing gooey. The best thing is to spread the rice evenly in the pan, let it heat up for a few second, 1 2 3 4 5...flip, toss and redistribute the rice, again spreading it out and leaving it alone to cook for another side.

Chinese Steamed Bao (Bun) is more popular and preferred order at Dim Sum Eateries, simply because it is more fulfilling. Chinese Steamed Boa (Bun) is also the favorite "Do-It-Yourself" of housewives as compared to other snacks, because it is so easy to master.

Texture of Orange Sweet Potato Steamed Bao (Bun) are so soft and fluffy. I used local Blue Key's Bao Flour. The dough of Orange Sweet Potato Steamed Bao (Bun) is heavy due to added mashed sweet potato, so, double action baking powder (DABP) is added to this recipe to make the Bao proof and form thoroughly.
