Fried rice has origins that stretch across many cultures and many centuries. The earliest record of fried rice dates back to the Sui Dynasty in China between 581-618 AD. This type of rice was later called “Yangzhou”, indicating where the cooking technique originated, and it permitted the widespread consumption of rice all over China. Over time, different variations of fried rice became popular and spread beyond China to other parts of Asia, including Japan, India, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia.

In the United States, Chinese immigrants brought the dish to the US in the late 1800s. Fried rice became especially popular in Chinese restaurants during the 1940s and 50s, and it has since become a staple in many international cuisines due to its complexity, ease of preparation, and versatility. Today, the various techniques associated with frying rice and other grains continue to be a part of many culinary traditions all over the world.
