Java rice, sometimes called yellow fried rice, [1] is a Filipino fried rice dish characterized by its yellow-orange tint from the use of turmeric or annatto. Variants of the dish add bell peppers, pimiento, paprika, and/or tomato ketchup to season the fried rice. [2] [3] [1] Despite the name, the dish does not come from Indonesia. [3] [1]
Although its actual origin is uncertain, java rice is associated with Chef Engracia Cruz-Reyes' Aristocrat restaurant (founded in 1936 in Manila) in part due to their popularization of serving their chicken barbecue ( inihaw) with this preparation of rice. [3] [1] [4] [5]
