Chahan - Japanese Fried Rice
11 steps
Prep:10minCook:15min
In Japan, the word for fried rice, "chao fan," was transformed into "chahan" from its Chinese origin. This alteration in terminology can be attributed to the arrival of Chinese immigrants in Japan during the 19th century who introduced the dish. Chuuka or Japanese-style Chinese restaurants frequently list it on their menus. Tokyo residents predominantly employ the term chahan to refer to fried rice.
