Method for cooking rice / noodles for Chinese Cuisine

Wash and soak rice for 20 - 30minutes. Now drain  the rice using a colander. Take a large kadhai / saucepan/ cooker  and fill the vessel with 3/4th of water (around  8-10 cups) and bring to boil. Now add enough salt and then add drained rice. Add 1/2tsp of refined oil and wait till the rice is 90%cooked. Take care not to overcook the rice. Each grain of rice should be separate. When it's done strain using a colander and Spread on a wide plate. This is a crucial step in making fried rice. If you are not spreading the rice to cool, the bottom layer of rice will get overcooked  and you will get mushy fried-rice. Allow the rice to cool for several hours.

Note : Make sure you are making fried rice with cooled rice. you can make rice before 4hrs  or previous day you make the fried rice.
