Yangzhou Fried Rice is a vibrant stir-fried rice dish made with cooked rice, shrimp, barbecued pork (char siu), egg, peas, carrots, and scallions, all tossed in light soy sauce and sesame oil. It originated in Yangzhou, a city in Jiangsu Province, and is regarded as the gold standard of Chinese fried rice. The ingredients are wok-fried over high heat to maintain their texture and infuse a subtle smoky flavor. Typically served as a main course or side dish in banquets and restaurants, it represents the refinement of Huaiyang cuisine. Known for its balanced flavor and color, the dish reflects Chinese culinary ideals of harmony and presentation. Common variations include chicken, mushroom, or vegetarian versions.
