To start, know that this is Cassy’s version of fried rice (an Americanized version, for sure) and not an authentic version. From my research, the biggest difference between Japanese-style fried rice and Chinese fried rice, though, is the type of rice used. Japanese fried rice is made with shorter grained rice (like sushi rice) that provides a chewier texture, and Chinese fried rice is typically made with a longer grain rice (like basmati or jasmine rice) that provides a drier texture. Cassy used a sprouted brown basmati here, so hers is technically more of a Chinese-style fried rice.
