Spicy ‘Freestyle’ Fried Rice from Guizhou (怪噜炒饭)

Fried Rice! Here we’re making a classic spicy Guizhou style of fried rice called Guailu fried rice - sometimes translated as ’freestyle fried rice’ (not the best translation, but eh, far from the worst... for what it’s worth, “Guailu“, in the local dialect, refers to a certain gambling style seen in novices where their bets are basically random because they don’t know what to do). But even outside the context of this dish, hopefully we can also teach you some general fried rice techniques in the process as well :) Before we get into the recipe itself though, quick reminder that you don’t *need* to steam your rice. Feel free to also use leftover rice cooker or takeaway rice. Going that route would be far more common. STEAMED RICE, INGREDIENTS/EQUIPMENT
