Java rice, sometimes called yellow fried rice,[1] is a fried rice dish originating in the Philippines that is identified by its yellow-orange tint from the turmeric or annatto added during its preparation. Variants of the dish adds bell peppers/pimiento, paprika, and/or tomato ketchup to season and add flavor to the fried rice.[2][3][1] Despite the name, the dish is completely Filipino and 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]
