Chicken fried rice

[Meg888]

If I was to make a basic chicken fried (long grain) rice with herbs and stock added, how do you think parmesan would go with it. I'm thinking of throwing it in at the end of cooking like you do with a risotto. Do you think it would go?

for me its a no

[rowanwitch]

bit too fusion for me too... short grain risotto rice with italian herbs would work with chicken and parmesan though

Chicken & cheese ? Doesn't make me rush to try it; but might be worth a go just to find out.

Pass!

Not for me, no.

Keep the Parmesan for Italian-style dishes. As long as the dish doesn't have any Asian-style flavours in it, should be OK.

Chicken fried rice and cheese? Not sure...

I think parmesan would kill the rather nice flavours of the chicken and rice.

I'm a bit confused that you want to make chicken fried rice but then want to add stock??? That sounds more like a pilaf to me.

A rich, creamy, unctuous risotto with parmesan yes; chicken fried rice or a pilaf then no parmesan - IMHO.

Eccles - I cook the rice in the stock & fry the chicken with onions & herbs then I add the cooked rice to the wok & fry it up quickly. I haven't tried it yet, so I can't tell you how it turned out with the parmesan. My daughter & I love risotto, but my OH will only eat long grain fried rice... I was just trying to do a risotto I think with long grain rice & without the lovely creaminess to see if I could fool him into eating it!
