Danielle Centoni\u2019s Fried Rice delivers bold, delicious dishes that\u2019ll get you rethinking your notion of fried rice.<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Danielle Centoni’s latest, Fried Rice, reminds us there’s more to the dish than leftovers. She writes, \u201c[T]his book takes the virtues of fried rice \u2014 fast, cheap, customizable \u2014 and runs with it, using it as a blank slate for a whole world of flavors.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With 50 ways to rethink fried rice, Centoni takes on the Asian-inspired dishes you might expect, but also guides the home cook through Indian, African and Middle Eastern takes on fried rice. She cruises through Europe and the Mediterranean and rolls through the Americas with Huevos Rancheros Fried Rice and Cajun BBQ Shrimp fried rice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here, rice is the platform and the aim is to amplify it. In some cases, you\u2019ll be making coconut or tomato rice in advance. In a couple of others, you\u2019ll use cauliflower rice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rice is notoriously neutral, some would even say bland, but Centoni is all about bold flavors. It\u2019s what makes this book such a win for me. In Fried Rice, she goes all in on herbs and spices, and several recipes feature additional garnishes and sauces or oils. Don\u2019t let that scare you off, none of them are particularly time consuming or complicated. They\u2019re small touches that make the final dishes stand out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, in her Fried Rice with Halloumi, Pickled Onions and Zhug, you\u2019re gonna make the onions and the zhug. It was one of our clear favorites, demolished in a day or two. No leftovers were shoved to the back of the fridge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weeknight Winners Abound in Fried Rice<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another standout is the Fried Cauliflower Rice with Turkey Kofte, Mint and Feta. It\u2019s a one-pan, weeknight wonder. Turkey is usually pretty nondescript, but like I said, Centoni doesn\u2019t skimp on flavor. The meat is liberally spiced and while it may be tempting to dial it down, or omit ingredients, you\u2019re only doing yourself a disservice. The feta brings a briny note, while mint and cilantro add a bright freshness. I’ve made it twice in the time I’ve had the book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Americas section, I opted for another familiar one: Taco Salad Fried Rice. It’s 80s nostalgia meets burrito bowl meets fried rice. Taking a cue from elsewhere in the book, I swapped in cauliflower rice for basmati. Again, what stands out is that the amount of spices that goes into the meat. Don\u2019t be tempted to grab a seasoning packet. Hit the bulk spices in your supermarket and do it up right. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve just scratched the surface with Fried Rice, but this one’s a win for us. We loved the Indian, African and Mediterranean chapter in particular, and I\u2019m looking forward to trying Centoni’s version of West Africa\u2019s Jollof Rice, Moroccan Fried Rice with Chicken, Saffron and Figs, and when we get to the fall, Polish Fried Rice with Kielbasa and Cabbage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
