Steam the rice as usual. Then separately, fry some onion and red pepper and when soft, stir the rice back in and add two eggs and mix in.

Honestly I thought your question was a set up to a joke.
If you are asking about their fried rice , then there are more than a 100 varieties . If u are asking about their plain white rice , it is done the same way as any other rice, but just that it is a little over cooked . if you generally use 3 parts water to 1 part rice , add one extra part of water ! i.e 4parts water to 1 part rice. usually 3.5 - 4 parts of water to 1 part rice (depending on parboiled rice or raw rice) should give you chinese white rice, it can then be fried in a wok along with your favorite ingredients .How do you cook chinese rice?
The chinese usually have plain steamed white rice.



I've given you a lot of detail here, but this recipe is really basic with only 3 steps. Put the raw white rice (2cups serves 4-6) and a large pinch of salt into a saucepan. Cover with cold water to two finger-widths (2.5cm) above the surface of the rice.



(This measurement will work with any quantity of rice, so long as it evenly covers the base of the saucepan.)



Bring to boil and boil rapidly uncovered for 2-3 minutes or until you see holes appear through the clouds of steam. The water should only just be starting to evaporate.



Cover the saucepan tightly and turn the heat down as low as possible. You may have to take it off the heat for a few minutes if it threatens to boil over. Leave for 15-20 minutes to steam gently. Remove from the heat and stand 5 minutes before removing the lid. Then uncover and use.



Do not rinse the cooked rice. There should be no need to add oil at any stage. Finished result should resemble light fluffy non-sticky rice.

Can be used for brown rice too with reasonable results, but takes at least 40 minutes.
