Despite its name, Singapore fried rice is not actually from Singapore but is a creation of Chinese takeout cuisine, popularized in the UK and elsewhere. This vibrant dish combines elements of Chinese and Southeast Asian flavors, with stir-fried rice tossed in curry powder, giving it a distinctive golden color and aromatic spice. Mixed with shrimp, chicken, vegetables, and sometimes egg, Singapore fried rice is a flavorful, colorful dish that showcases a fusion of influences rather than a traditional Singaporean recipe.
