How to Draw Fried Rice
Draw fried rice in 13 easy steps, about 10 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: the rim.
Step 1: The rim
A little below the middle of your paper, draw a wide flat oval about a hand across.
Step 2: The bowl
Start at the left end of the oval. Draw a big U down and up to the right end.
Step 3: The foot
Under the bowl, draw a short stand: start on the bottom, go down, across, and up to the bottom.
Step 4: A stripe
Under the rim, draw a bowed stripe across the bowl, from the left side to the right side.
Step 5: A heap of rice
Draw a bumpy heap from the rim's left end over to its right end. Rub out the rim inside it.
Tip Lots of little bumps: it is a heap of rice grains.
Step 6: Peas and carrots
On the heap, draw 4 little round peas spread about, and 3 tiny tilted squares for carrot cubes.
Step 7: Bits of egg
Draw 3 small wobbly blobs on the heap for bits of scrambled egg.
Step 8: A spoon
On the right, draw a spoon standing in the rice: a long handle leaning up, an oval bowl below.
Step 9: Steam
Start a little above the heap and draw 2 wiggly steam lines going up.
Step 10: The table
Draw a long line under the foot, just touching its bottom.
Step 11: Cream rice, grey spoon
Go over your lines, then colour the rice cream around the peas, carrots and egg, and the spoon grey.
Step 12: Yellow egg, orange carrot
Colour the egg bits yellow and the carrot cubes orange.
Step 13: Green peas, teal band
Colour the peas green and the band under the rim teal. Leave the rest of the bowl white.

Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: fried rice, drawn by you.
