National Fried Rice Day

WHEREAS, Fried rice is a beloved dish with deep cultural roots across Asia and has become a staple enjoyed by families and communities throughout California; and

WHEREAS, California is the second-largest rice-producing state in the United States, with most rice grown in the Sacramento Valley, making rice not only a cultural food but also an essential part of the state’s agricultural economy; and

WHEREAS, Fried rice reflects California’s diversity, with countless variations celebrated in homes, restaurants, and cultural festivals across the state; and

WHEREAS, National Fried Rice Day, observed annually on September 20, provides an opportunity to celebrate California’s vibrant culinary traditions and honor the contributions of Asian American communities to the state’s culture and economy; and

WHEREAS, Recognizing National Fried Rice Day highlights how food brings people together, strengthens community bonds, and reflects California’s values of diversity and inclusion;

now, therefore,

be it Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, That the Assembly recognizes September 20, 2025, as National Fried Rice Day and encourages Californians to join in celebrating the dish’s cultural and culinary significance; and be it further Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly transmit copies of this resolution to the author for appropriate distribution.
