what is the best rice to use to make fried rice?

Answer 1

white rice

Answer 2

Cook the rice first (make sure it is not sticky rice), then lay it on the cookie sheet or something flat, let it cool over night, since it is cool and dry, it won't stick together too much, therefor you do not have to use too much cooking oil, it is healthier that way. Good luck and happy holiday.
