History, tradition and origin
Rice feeds more people than any other crop. Fried rice began as a way to use yesterday's cooked rice, and the version from Yangzhou with shrimp and pork became the best known. In Korea, rice mixed with vegetables and chili paste in a hot stone bowl grew from the custom of mixing leftovers before the new year.
Food economy and industry
About nine tenths of the world's rice is grown and eaten in Asia, mostly on small flooded fields. Thailand, Vietnam and India are the main exporters. Rice farming employs hundreds of millions of people, uses a great deal of water, and is sensitive to monsoon rains, so harvests affect food prices across the region.
